How to Create New Partition

Hi there
Background:
New to Solaris - installed VM Ware on a vista laptop, then installed Solaris 10 using ISO file.
My aim, is to get to stage where I can install Oracle 11g Database.

Question:
See attached file.
Simple question, how do I create a new partition say called "Oracle" 30G in size at / ?

Should mention the VM File set at 8G.

Thanks...
