I assume you have LVM. In that case,
pvcreate /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX # cXtXdX is the unused disk.
vgextend /dev/<vgname> /dev/dsk/cXtXdX
lvextend -L <size> /dev/<vgname>/<lvol_name>
if [ you have Online JFS ]
then
fsadm .... # check the syntax
else
umount /mountpoint
extendfs /dev/<vgname>/r<lvol_name>
mount /mountpoint
fi
Pheww......
