Firmware modifications made by Dell to WD and may be Seagate drives is what
makes opensolaris not being able to power up those disks.

Easiest way to make it work is to modify /kernel/drv/sd.conf and add an entry
for your specific drive similar to this

sd-config-list= "WD      WD2000FYYG","power-condition:false",
                "SEAGATE ST2000NM0001","power-condition:false",
                "SEAGATE ST32000644NS","power-condition:false",
                "SEAGATE ST91000640SS","power-condition:false";

It is also possible to make it work without reboot using mdb commands
