@saroj1439 Please, in the future:
answer to the questions asked by people trying to help you.
use a new thread if what you are asking is unrelated to the existing thread.
don't mark a thread as solved if you don't think it is.
Anyway, here are replies to your last four questions:

You need to unmount /abc before growing the file system.

The problem is on the linux side so there is no way for you to fix it on the Solaris one. Just install/enable telnet on linux, or (better) use ssh.

Can any one tell me about what is the use of Swap in Linux/Solaris.
Swap is used to increase the virtual memory size available to the operating system. Solaris and Linux have different behavior regarding memory overcommitment. I would recommend not undersize the swap. Too large a swap is not a problem outside wasting some disk space. Too little a swap can have destructive effects.
