You can't. With old Solaris, I think you could also only increase size with "growufs".
Solaris had no proper LVM, but historically used "disksuite". It wasn't bad, just less capable. IIRC the Veritas stuff could be bought as well to add a full LVM, but I have never seen that used by anyone.

with "format".
After that you can "newfs".

How about something like "drvconfig", "devlinks", "disks"?
Some later Solaris release also added "devfsadm".

RE: Disks management
If your filesystem is ufs, if I remember correctly, you are stuck with copying the data to a larger filesystem. I have never heard of a way to expand a ufs partition.
