Managers,

My original question was on how to increase the format time within 4.1.3
above 2 hours to allow for the formatting of a Seagate 9GB drive.

Some people suggested to use adb and some mentioned patch 101788 but this
is for Solaris 2.3.

The answer is to modify the /sys/scsi/targets/sddef.h file.
Locate the SD_FMT_TIME variable
Change 120 to 240 (minutes)
Rebuild the kernel, reboot and go.

Thanks to the following:
