Well after a couple of weeks of beating my head, i finally got my data back so
I thought I would post what process recovered it.
I ran the samsung estool utility
ran auto-scan and for each disk that was showing the wrong physical size i :-
chose set max address
chose recover native size
After that when i booted back into solaris format showed the disks being the
correct size again and i was able to zpool import :-
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:

I will just say though that there is something in zfs which caused this in the
first place as when i first replaced teh faulty sata controller, only 1 of the
4 disks showed the incorrect size in format but then as i messed around trying
to zpool export/import i eventually wound up in the sate that all 4 disks
showed the wrong size.
Anyhow, im happy i got it all back working again, and hope this solution
assists others.
