IIRC, I did this ages ago on a box I was playing with.
There was some fooling around to do though... as ZFS boot disks use slices, and an SMI label, not an EFI label and whole disk...
I vaguely recall changing the underlying volsize with the LDOM down, then net-booting single user, using format to alter the size of slice 0, then rebooting all the way back up, and the zpool auto-expanded to use the rest of the disk.
And - if you are using mirrors, you won't see the extra space until both sides are done.
I'd be inclined to spin up a baby test LDOM and give it a crack - but be sure that you get Oracle's buy-in to be sure they won't arbitrarily decide that it's not a supported procedure.
You might also need to watch out for the auto-expand property for the zpool - depending on what Solaris you are running, you might see different behaviour...

Hello, We are using ZFS volumes as guest domain boot disks and was wondering if its possible to increase the size of the boot drives without rebuilding?
