You need to have /etc/system configured properly with these variables:
For I/O Dynamic Reconfiguration:
set pln:pln_enable_detach_suspend=1
set soc:soc_enable_detach_suspend=1
For CPU/memory support only:
set kernel_cage_enable=1
The cfgadm command lets you turn things on and off for hot-swap.
Display hot-swappable devices:
cfgadm -al
Disable hot-swap device:
cfgadm -c unconfigure <device>
cfgadm -c disconnect <device>
Enable hot-swap device:
cfgadm -c connect <device>
cfgadm -c configure <device>
