Firstly, I appreciate why you are trying to connect an external HDD but do you realize just how slow it might be? If your (Sun) hardware is USB1 then it will be hopeless!! If it's USB2 it will be better but not fast and I doubt you have USB3 which would be ideal.
Having said that......
Secondly, from what you've posted I reckon that the volume manager is getting in your way and interfering with USB operations. So let's shoot that down because I doubt it's needed for anything else. On Solaris 10 as root that is:
You've obviously done some highly relevant research and you have the right idea. Try again with rmformat (to find the device node once you've plugged the USB drive in), fdisk to delete existing/create new partition, and newfs to write down a new filesystem.
Try again to do all that once you've stopped volume manager messing up your life.
EDIT: You may not see the external HDD listed by format. Don't worry about that.
