Is it possible to resize a slice under Solaris 8

I have encountered my first problem of the year at work with one of our NMS servers. We would like to migrate Cisco Works to Solaris, as it is currently running on NT. The NMS is already running OpenView NNM 6.2 (primary NMS program). Anyhow the /var slice is only 6 mb and is almost full, as this is where OpenView NNM keeps it's database files. Cisco Works requires that 5 mb on /var at least be free in order for installation. So, does anyone have a possible work-around for this scenario? There is plenty of free space on the /usr and /home slices which could accomodate the data.

Thanks in advance.
