The first thing is to know :
What is filling / up?
If you have data written there, you should not! Once data files have been removed elsewhere and perhaps use links to do so, you may have enough space
The other alternative would be to use /data1 to move /usr/local on it then (in single user...) remove what is under /usr/local and mount /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s7 /usr/local (but it is just an example since I dont know what you have installed in / ..)
