open /etc/power.conf and add the following line:

S3-support enable

after that run pmconfig as root or using pfexec as a user with the
required profiles
to check whether suspend and resume works or not run the following command

reboot -f dryrun

it wont actually reboot solaris it will tell you whether the drivers
for your hardware implement the required support, after that, check
the output of dmesg
suspend and resume might work even if that fails, the driver for my
intel GPU fails and my dell 640m suspends and resumes successfully.
after that you should have the suspend button among the shutdown
options in gnome, you might have to restart your gnome session, i'm
not sure
