Help with increasing file system size in Sun OS 5.9

Hi,

I have recently taken up to support these SunOS 5.9 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240 boxes and got a request to increase the size of /backup01 as its getting filled up quickly and can't play much on it as these are production servers. As I have no idea about how to do this, can anyone let me know the steps as how it can be done with best possible way. We are using mirroring here and more information below.

Code:
  bash-2.05# df -k
  Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
  /dev/md/dsk/d0       10327372 3293091 6931008    33%    /

  d20 1 1 c1t1d0s0
  d10 1 1 c1t0d0s0

thanks in advance and any advice will be great
