These applications are likely not part of the operating system. It is well possible they allow their logs and/or data to be relocated elsewhere. If you don't find how to do it, you might also use loopback mounts to remap the directories using a lot of disk space to directories located on the new file system (new LUN). Note that you might have SVM mirroring in place with the current setup (run the "metastat" command to check it) and you'll lose that feature if your new LUN isn't already on a mirror.

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.
