Convert from raw disk to solaris volume manager disk

I have a solaris 10 system configured using NetApp as its storage, and the file systems are already configured as you can see from the example below:
Code:
  root@moneta # df -h

As you can some of these file systems have exceed the 90% mark, so we want to extend them. From my research I need to convert the /dev/dsk/c4t60A98000646F6172636F6772554A706Dd0s0into “/dev/dsk/md/d60” as an example, which is “solaris volume manager” nomenclature. Then I can use growfs -m to resize the partition.
But I need first to convert those disks into solaris volume manager disks. Please can you give me the steps to do that?
