It depends if you use SVM (Solaris Volume Manager) or ZFS.
For ZFS you can easily activate compression for the dataset (filesystem) using:
pfexec zfs set compression=on the-name-of-your-pool/your-dataset
ZFS Compression - A Win-Win - The Observatory
I don't know if it is possible something like this using SVM or UFS.
