grow filesystem

Hi, how to grow a filesystem when the 2 disks are mirrored using hardware RAID? Only 100G out of 136G is used for now.
I would like to increase one of the slices by adding the 36G of space.
Pls assist. I only know of using growfs on mirrored disks using SVM.(soft mirror)

Its a solaris filesystem, the 2 disks are using hardware raid

if they are on hardware raid, you can't grow them... backup the data and reinitialize the raid. after that restore your data...
