Solution  1017580.1 :   Using "cfgadm -c configure" and diag-level=mem2 may fail on Sun Fire[TM] V1280 and Netra[TM] 1280

Symptoms
Using "cfgadm -c configure <FRU>" and a diag-level of mem2 on a Sun Fire
v1280 or Netra 1280 system can cause the following message to occur "sgfru
ioctl 0xf handle 0xc1 failed: Connection timed out".

This is due to a Solaris[TM] to SC mailbox management issue that causes
Solaris to send messages to the SC while the SC is blocked, running LPOST
on the requested board. Solaris times out before the SC finishes running
POSt and can service the new messages.

Resolution
To avoid mailbox timeouts in this scenario, set the sgsbbc driver's minimum
and default time-out to 24 hours or greater. For other diag-levels, smaller
values can be used.

As root edit /etc/system:

set sbbc_mbox_default_timeout = 86700
set sbbc_mbox_min_timeout = 86700
