I think I can see your problem here...

I suspect we're talking about a slightly different question.
All I actually do, and it's very simple, is use

cfgadm -c unconfigure

which turns on the ready-to-remove LED.

The led and locator commands appear to only support a small set
of platforms. Following the hint in the manpage, where it says
"This  example  is  specific  to  the SPARC Enterprise Server family"
I can see that I can query the locator state on my M-series boxes
(which is what 'SPARC-Enterprise' means, I think) but not on
anything else.
