At the Oracle Solaris prompt, list all drives in the device tree, including
drives that are not configured.
# cfgadm -al
This command lists dynamically reconfigurable hardware resources and shows their
operational status. In this case, look for the status of the drive you plan to remove.
This information is listed in the Occupant column.
Ap_id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition
c0 scsi-bus connected configured unknown
c0::dsk/c1t0d0 disk connected configured unknown
c0::dsk/c1t0d0 disk connected configured unknown
usb0/1 unknown empty unconfigured ok
usb0/2 unknown empty unconfigured ok
...
You must unconfigure any drive you plan to remove.
Unconfigure the drive using the cfgadm -c unconfigure command.
For example:
# cfgadm -c unconfigure c0::dsk/c1t1d0
Replace c0:dsk/c1t1d0 with the drive name that applies to your situation.
