yes you can... it is a setting in /etc/system. i don't know the right entry yet... but it should be something like:

set watchdog_disable=1

maybe one of the other guys knows the right syntax...

I hope you intend to attempt correcting the problem that watchdog is trying to alert you of instead of just disabling and ignoring the service.

The ALOM has its necessary parameters to be fine tuned
