I've also seen it happen that a disk got a reduced-size label (partition
table) on it, after which OI/Solaris continues to believe that layout info
until you somehow overwrite it.

You may be able to wipe the table by:
  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c4t0d0s0 bs=512 count=1000

Then hot-plug the drive, or reconfigure-reboot to force the OS to
see the drive as a new one again.  Then a "zpool create" on c4t0d0
(without the "s0") might put a fresh EFI label on there.

Regards,
