Please help Disk Suite on Solaris 8 FS full!!!

I am new to Solaris so please bear with me. I have spent enough time searching to get somewhat of a grip here but I am not sure what to do next. I am trying to grow a file system on a Solaris 8 server.

B_root@server:>df -k
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/md/dsk/d0 30257446 21037051 8917821 71% /
/proc 0 0 0 0% /proc
fd 0 0 0 0% /dev/fd
mnttab 0 0 0 0% /etc/mnttab
/dev/md/dsk/d5 20174761 6267861 13705153 32% /var
swap 8554064 24 8554040 1% /var/run
swap 8603824 49784 8554040 1% /tmp
/dev/md/dsk/d30 136261305 80675586 54223106 60% /oracle01
/dev/md/dsk/d7 11094316 10768394 214979 99% /server01

I need to make /server01 bigger by at least 2 GB....

When I look at metastat I see d7 has submirrors d17 and d27 and they are on 2 separate physical disks (c2t0d0s7, c2t1d0s7)

B_root@server:>metastat -p
d0 -m d10 d20 1
d10 1 1 c2t0d0s0
d20 1 1 c2t1d0s0
d1 -m d11 d21 1
d11 1 1 c2t0d0s1
d21 1 1 c2t1d0s1
d5 -m d15 d25 1
d15 1 1 c2t0d0s5
d25 1 1 c2t1d0s5
d7 -m d17 d27 1
d17 1 1 c2t0d0s7
d27 1 1 c2t1d0s7
d30 4 1 c1t0d0s0 \
1 c1t1d0s0 \
1 c1t2d0s0 \
1 c1t3d0s0

Here are is how they are partitioned:

c2t0d0s7
Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
0 root wm 0 - 6037 29.30GB (6038/0/0) 61442688
1 swap wu 6038 - 7686 8.00GB (1649/0/0) 16780224
2 backup wm 0 - 14086 68.35GB (14087/0/0) 143349312
3 unassigned wm 7687 - 7727 203.72MB (41/0/0) 417216
4 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
5 var wm 7728 - 11753 19.54GB (4026/0/0) 40968576
6 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
7 unassigned wm 11754 - 13967 10.74GB (2214/0/0) 22529664

c2t1d0s7
Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
0 root wm 0 - 6037 29.30GB (6038/0/0) 61442688
1 swap wu 6038 - 7686 8.00GB (1649/0/0) 16780224
2 backup wm 0 - 14086 68.35GB (14087/0/0) 143349312
3 unassigned wm 7687 - 7727 203.72MB (41/0/0) 417216
4 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
5 var wm 7728 - 11753 19.54GB (4026/0/0) 40968576
6 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
7 unassigned wm 11754 - 13967 10.74GB (2214/0/0) 22529664

This is all I know. I have no idea what to do now. I have more HDs and I have slots to put them into. But I just don't know what to do from here? Do I need to add (physically) more disks? Or can I change the partition table of the existing ones to make more room that way? Any help is appreciated I feel like I am drowning here....
