Hi
we have a sunfire v880 server . we have a problem with root partion it showing 90% full. so anyone can help me how to increase the size of that partion.
NOTE: It is not in veritas & SVM control.

First, what are all your mount points? If you have /var under /, instead of having /var as a separate filesystem, then your safest course would be to make /var separate from the root filesystem (assuming you have extra space available).
Post the output of df -k command and the OS/Version from the server OR
you could look at the different threads already posted and pick one that will work for you - example: increasing ufs file system size solaris
maybe delete old files... logs... or something like this. also for better help post the output of "prtvtoc" and df -k".
if u want to increase root partion do one thing see the slice of root if it is s0 slice see what is next slice if it is swap or /var copy this slice to another slice and increase the cylenders of root partition and type grwofs command <growfs -M / /dev/rdsk/c#t#d#s#>
may be it is better
your root partition contains ALL.
check the /var directories...remove old logs, crash dumps etc..
find / -size +100000 -print to find out the huge files r simply cd to the directories and run du -sk * |sort -rn |head
this sounds oddly familiar. 
Thats abt it... whats so special of being filesystem full? its abt housekeeping in a systematic manner 
iTS my practise to rotate logs housekeep, backup etc etc.. every1 does that pupp..
