RZ29b disk problem

Greetings,

 We have a 2000 4/233 V3.2B server and it stopped "serving".
I opened the door on the server and noticed one of the rz29b
drives had a steady green light on, and no other activity on
any of the other drives. The system was unusable for about 10
minutes at this point. I was unable to access the system through
the console so I cut the power and pulled the drive.
The system rebooted without any problem. I ran uerf and found
this lone entry about the problem at the time of the occurence.
 I had another drive, same type, and installed it, after the power
was off, in the same slot and the system wouldn't reboot it hung
at LUN 0 TARGET 3. I cut the power and pulled that drive.
 What, if anything, does this tell me? Is the drive bad or could
two drives be bad or has the port gone bad on the SCSI card? BTW it
passed all diags with the drive in but failed to boot.
