Solaris 8-How to check unallocated physical volumn and how allocate it to a disk?

How can I check unallocated physical volumn size on Solaris 8? And how do I allocate it?
As you can see /TSHE_applics is nearly full with 97% used and we need to allocate some more disk space as there are 2 more projects that requires a few more installation on it by October 2010.

Code:

Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on               
/dev/md/dsk/d10      4129290  818119 3269879    21%    /                        
/dev/md/dsk/d50      8258597 2271906 5904106    28%    /usr                     
/proc                      0       0       0     0%    /proc                    
mnttab                     0       0       0     0%    /etc/mnttab              
fd                         0       0       0     0%    /dev/fd                  
/dev/md/dsk/d30      4129290  746993 3341005    19%    /var                     
swap                 2602704      16 2602688     1%    /var/run                 
swap                 2622024   19336 2602688     1%    /tmp                     
/dev/dsk/c3t2d3s6    34711189   34454 34329624     1%    /TSHE_temp             
/dev/dsk/c3t2d4s5    4652094 4435692  169882    97%    /TSHE_applics            
/dev/dsk/c3t2d1s6    36569646 20157109 16046841    56%    /TSHE_live            
/dev/dsk/c3t2d2s6    35139567 14302043 20486129    42%    /TSHE_test            
/dev/md/dsk/d40      2053605  876344 1115653    44%    /home                    
/dev/md/dsk/d60      12386458 2481537 9781057    21%    /software

To be honest, I don't have much experience with UNIX but need to start monitor it and do the admin job as we don't have system admin for it anymore so simple explaination will be apprreaciated please

As a rule of thumb - never let disks become more than 95% full.

The simple answer:
1. add another physical disk - format the disk etc.
2. create a mountpoint (like a link) under /TSHE_applics
3. /etc/vfstab to add the new mountpoint
4. issue the mount command

see for exact detail:
