    I don't like the look of that - the boot device is obviously ZFS, and it would appear that both copies of the ZFS metadata are corrupt. Is the boot-volume mirrored? Have you tried the auto-repair boot mode?

    I've try every menu in the GRUB main menu but no luck, I've also try to clone the harddisk it self but still no luck about mirror probably not. I'm not expert in Linux OS environment.

    Solaris isn't a Linux distribution, it is a hard-as-nails commercial Unix. Now then - to business. You'll need to boot from media and recover the rpool ZFS pool metadata. Can you boot the machine into single-user from a Solaris install DVD (select "3 Shell" from the media's GRUB menu) and run "zpool status"?
