SAN management - growing filesystems

I've asked this question of the tru64 list and got some answers for that
platform, but no good responses for Solaris so I thought I'd ask here.
We have a Compaq hsv110 SAN array here and due to customer requests need to
increase the size of filesystems on both Solaris & Tru64 systems. Has
anyone done this before? What is the best way? We can use the appliance
to grow the physical size of the disk without any problems, but growing
the filesystem to take advantage of the new disk space is a problem.
We are running DiskSuite on Solaris 7 & 8 and AdvFS on Tru64 5.1Apk3.
I guess what I'm looking for is a way to change the disklabel without
affecting the data - I know I could concat and growfs with disksuite
(or addvol/rmvol on tru64).
TIA.
        
Jon
