How to determine if i have spare disks in Solaris?

Hi Guys,
obviously new to SOLARIS SUN SPARC 5.10
I would really appreciate if you help me see how to find free disks available in my system.
Like i am a linux admin. If i want to grow a file system in linux. I would first have a look at my volume groups to see if they have free PEs if not then i will look for another disks.
Does it work same way in Solaris? Any help would be much appreciated
