You should tell what Solaris release you are using, administration tasks changed a lot with Solaris 11. For example creating a "/etc/hostname.e1000g0" file has no effect on Solaris 11.

q5) lastly, can i say that in SPARC system, each partition in a disk = slice while in X86 platform , each partition in a disk is a partition and slices exists INSIDE the partition
SPARC systems do not use fdisk partitions so might call disk slices partitions.
x86 systems use fdisk partitions so try to avoid calling slices partitions.
Slices are indeed areas inside the Solaris fdisk partition on x86 while on SPARC, there is no intermediary layer.
EFI (GPT) changed all of that.
ZFS prefer to use whole disks so obsoleted the requirement for multiple partitions/slices.
