Forget that GUI app.
use fx. At the prompt type fx -x and hit return.
choose the correct controller (0) and disk (2)
Then choose r for (r)epartition
then choose o for (o)ption drive and repartition as option drive.
hit .. and return a few times to get back to the main screen.
type exi to exit.
You might have to create a new label in (l)abl --> (c)reate
afterwards make a new file system.
mkfs /dev/rdsk/dks0d2s7 (change mkfs options as needed).
That should help some.
