I currently have a Solaris 10 server with the / root file system using SVM. Here is the information of the current setup.
Code:

In order to expand the / root file system, I think I'll have to create another mirror set (d7) using another pair of slices (c0t0d0s7, c0t01d0s7). I have read several cases that growfs cannot grow the mounted / file system??
cp /etc/vfstab /etc/vfstab.bak
cp /etc/system /etc/system.bak
metaroot /dev/md/rdsk/d7
mount /dev/md/dsk/d7 /mnt
# copy the new vfstab and system
cp /etc/system /mnt/etc/system
cp /etc/vfstab /mnt/etc/vfstab
umount /mnt
# restore the original vfstab and system
mv /etc/system.bak /etc/system; mv /etc/vfstab.bak /etc/vfstab
Since the boot disk is located on the same disk but different slices (s0 before, s7 now), do i have to make any changes to the boot-device from OBP? (setenv boot-device {dev})
And I have installed the boot block to slice s7 (d7). Slice s0 (d0) should also have a boot block and this would confuse the boot process the slice to boot from. How do overcome this issue?
All online (growfs should be run during low traffic hours).
Because it is appended to the existing slices, you do not need to install another boot block.

Thanks. I wish that method worked, but executing your first step metattach d10 c0t0d0s7 gave me an error saying cannot expand root file system.
I ended up installing virtualbox and tried my method I posted, and with a bit of adjustment (installgrub instead of installboot, update boot archive), it worked out. Below in red is the adjustment I've made.

I've to install Oracle binaries (I'm oracle DBA) and for that I've extend swap space in my home computer. My situation is like this.
