yes.

yep, this is the broken 003 firmware from Seagate, know it well :-P

fwflash might work, but it is unlikely Seagate knows anything about it. In any
case,
firmware upgrades on production system is not a best practice.
You can also disable the FMA agent, disk-transport, which is the agent
responsible
for watching to ensure the temperature does not exceed the "temperature at which
the drive vendor says the drive should not be operated" The impact to you is
that
the same agent detects other failures, such as predicted failures, that
probably do
need to be noticed. For a short window, this option might work for you.
Useful commands:
fmstat - shows the current FMA modules, and should include
disk-transport
fmadm unload disk-transport
fmadm load disk-transport
The temp checks (and PFA) are done once per hour, by default.
