I have managed to use the ldmp2v(1M) utility to turn one of these systems into a client LDOM of the host system (using the downloaded ISO file sol-10-u11-ga-sparc-dvd.iso ):

Unfortunately I have just noticed that the root file system of this LDOM is now full:
$ df -h /
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0d0s0 15G 15G 0K 100% /
Contents of /etc/vfstab:
/dev/dsk/c0d0s1 - - swap - no -
/dev/dsk/c0d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0 / ufs 1 no -
/dev/dsk/c0d0s7 /dev/rdsk/c0d0s7 /export/home ufs 2 yes -
/dev/dsk/c0d0 is a ZFS volume on the host system, and the client file systems are, as you can see, UFS.
So the question is: Can I increase the size of the LDOM root partition easily, and if so, how? The alternative is to destroy this LDOM and recreate it using the -m option to ldmp2v to increase the size of the root partition. Not a problem, but not something I want to keep doing every time I get something wrong.
