Your slice2 (whole disk space) shows only 20G from the partition table.
Did you do a clone or at least did you assigned the remaining size to any unused partition during install ? I'm not sure if you can expand beyond this now, and afraid that you might loose your data if you try purging the disk to get back its original volume of 300G |

You can't have more than one Solaris/Solaris2 partition. It might make your system unbootable. Set partition 2 type to something else and create a ZFS pool on it if you are running Solaris 10. If you aren't, you can create a ufs partition on c3d0p2 but that's not straightforward. Edit: just noticed your root partition is on ZFS, so you are definitely using Solaris 10u6 or Solaris Express, so just create a ZFS pool and you are set. |

Ok, I've changed it to 'UNIX System' how would I make a zfs pool named 'minisan'?
