Symptoms
There are instances when an X4500's drive firmware SMART (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) predictively fails out a disk and reports it to fmadm.
ZFS however can report the drive as healthy.
Running cfgadm -c unconfigure is how the service manual recommends replacing the drive. However, since the drive was still healthy according to ZFS, the command will fail with the following:
For patched Solaris 10, ZFS now recognizes the predictive failure reported via SMART and faults the disk automatically.
The fix is in the Solaris 10 patch for <Bug: 15662359> activate ZPOOL_CONFIG_FRU in ON
