What's strange is that other OS' don't have a problem. I guess this is just illumos taking more care and *believing* the firmware's reports? I hope its that, and not that the drives are actually running too hot under illumos.

We first saw this on Solaris 11. Root cause is that the Seagate firmware change for FW003 inappropriately sets the reference temperature to the wrong value. According
to SPC-4
The REFERENCE TEMPERATURE field indicates the maximum reported sensor temperature in degrees Celsius at which the SCSI target device is capable of operating continuously without degrading the SCSI target device's
operation or reliability beyond manufacturer accepted limits.

The FMA disk-transport agent checks for this and, when exceeded, will fault the drive.
Apparently, this got set to something ridiculously low, like 45C.

NB, in Solaris 11 we can disable the temperature check in disk-transport.conf. For illumos, we'll need to make some small changes. Alternatively, you can disable the disk-transport agent for short-term
relief.

How would I go about disabling the disk-transport agent?
