Remember to run newfs for that particular slice. Then add the
bootblk. This way a new file system will get made for the new
slice/filesystem.

Yes. There are somethings. John Justin Hough

Actually, there are some tools. None that come with the SunOS or
Solaris directly, but Online DiskSuite and Vertitas gives you some
tools if you give that software control of your disks, and Artecon
(I believe) has written some disk management software that while not
public domain is inexpensive or free if you buy a disk from them.
There are others, but none are really free or in the public domain.
