Hello Vijay Ayar,
Here are the commands that you are going to want to run to clear and reset your physical disk stats. You may need to run the commands on both controllers to ensure that the stats are reset on both controllers. If you are still unable to clear & reset, then we will need to look at a support bundle to see what is going on.
smcli -n -p password -c "clear allPhysicalDiskChannels stats;"
smcli -n -p password -c "set physicalDiskChannel [0] status=optimal;"
smcli -n -p password -c "set physicalDiskChannel [1] status=optimal;"
smcli -n -p password -c "set physicalDiskChannel [2] status=optimal;"
smcli -n -p password -c "set physicalDiskChannel [3] status=optimal;"
Please let us know if you have any other questions.

But do i have to reconfiguration ip address on new raid controller while replaced and need to setup fresh or it will automatically configured?
If we get refurbished/New raid controller then do i have to reset raid controller and then insert?

If you check in MDSM are all the drives showing as online & optimal? If the drives is online then what you might try is to run the following commands from SMCLI & see if it clears the errors:
smcli -n name -p password -c "clear allPhysicalDiskChannels stats;"
smcli -n name -p password -c "set physicalDiskChannel [( 1 | 2 )] status=optimal;"

Can you run these commands on a LIVE system, or do you need to shutdown any outside servers using the Storage array?
