I am trying to resize my disk space to be bigger on my solaris server (Sun Fire V240)
this server and other windows servers are attached to a SAN disks, the disk I want to resize is on the SAN.
I have free space on the SAN disks so I added some space to the windows disks and I made some changes on the windows servers to apply the news sizes and it works without any problems and without any losing of data. I did the same thing for the solaris attached disk (One disk to be resized and the other disks are fine) and then I tried to apply the changes on the solaris server like I did with windows servers.
The disk I made changes on its size is /global/d100s2 and now its size on SAN is 17G
and to check the size I verified with auto configure command

the server recognized the new size 17G but when doing df -h it still shows the
the previous size can anyone help with helpful commands to apply the changes (add space to slice 2)
(in one condition no data to be lost) thanks a lot

Sorry I wasn't clear enough. You just rewrote the label that was already there so this had no effect. By "relabel" I meant writing a new label automatically adjusted to the expanded device size.
After selecting the disk, type the "type" command, then "0" to auto-configure, then "label" to relabel.
Thank you for your help Jlliagre, and I'm sorry for being late responding to your steps, I just
tried to follow the steps that you gave me but unlikely I got another error message
