You might try investigating the freeware package called "sudo". It
allows you to selectively delegate "Root Powers" to various users for
specific tasks.

Search the web, or visit www.sunfreeware.com.

I don't know VxFS, but in /etc/security/prof_attr is a profile named
"File System Management", which
contains /sbin/mount as a command.

ppriv -l shows the privilege sys_mount.
That could also be used as a privilege in /etc/user_attr.

For my user I've added the dtrace-privileges.

Why should he do that when Solaris comes with a superior RBAC system? 
Here's some examples:
