To repeat what some others have said, yes, Solaris seems to handle an iSCSI 
device going offline in that it doesn't panick and continues working once 
everything has timed out.

However that doesn't necessarily mean it's ready for production use.  ZFS will 
hang for 3 mins (180 seconds) waiting for the iSCSI client to timeout.  Now I 
don't know about you, but HA to me doesn't mean "Highly Available, but with 
occasional 3 minute breaks".  Most of the client applications we would want to 
run on ZFS would be broken with a 3 minute delay returning data, and this was 
enough for us to give up on ZFS over iSCSI for now.
