Here's the iSCSI bug I raised last year, which details the line of iscsi.h 
where I think the 3 minute timeout is configured:
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6670866

And here's the original thread where I first spotted the problem of the entire 
pool hanging:
http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=213482

Please note that it's not just iSCSI that can cause ZFS to timeout.  *Any* 
single device that starts to timeout can hang the entire pool if the driver 
does not catch it.  This behaviour has been seen with many types of drive, and 
even on Sun x4500's I believe.

Here's the thread on ZFS availability I started back in August because I think 
the ZFS guys could do with addressing this:
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=350750&#350750

Note:  Despite submitting this as a bug/rfe *three* times, there has never been 
a bug report or RFE number generated for that.  It seems that Sun want to 
ignore this problem.
