The zpool command runs into a loop if all storage paths from a node are disabled

The Solaris Zpool agent runs zpool commands to import and export zpools. If all paths to the storage are disabled, the zpool command does not respond. Instead, the zpool export command goes into a loop and attempts to export the zpool. This continues till the storage paths are restored and zpool is cleared. As a result, the offline and clean procedures of Zpool Agent fail and the service group cannot fail over to the other node.

Workaround: You must restore the storage paths and run the zpool clear command for all the pending commands to succeed. This will cause the service group to fail over to another node.
