vgdisplay show Space Available in Volume Group (Mbytes): 143552 when I try to increase dev/vg00/lvol3 volume i got following error
lvextend: Not enough free physical extents available. Logical volume "/dev/vg00/lvol3" could not be extended Failure possibly caused by contiguous allocation policy. Failure possibly caused by strict allocation policy

we can not increase root fs easily, and I can see, your root fs is near to 1 gig and it quite ok, what you need to do, just check core/crash files if it is there then remove it first, there is few things which you need to remember:- check if /var is not a seperate fs, then search under
#/var/adm
and move any unwanted files from there,
# find / -xdev -size +1000 -exec ll {} \;
and go with Johnson`s thread that will be quite helpfull for your issue.
LV Name /dev/vg00/lvol4 LV Status available/syncd LV Size (Mbytes) 15360 Current LE 480 Allocated PE 960 Used PV 2

you can do a pvmove of the lvol4(15360MB) to move that to the available that is 32*2243 MB, once that done you can increase the /dev/vg00/lvol3 that is root LV as that needs to have contiguous free space behind that to faclilitate the extension.
take the system to the LVM maintenance mode, do pvmove -n /dev/vg00/lvol4 lvextend -L NEW_SIZE_in_MB_should_be_less_than_or_equla_to_present_size_of_lvol3+15360MB /dev/vg00/lvol3. extendfs /dev/vg00/rlvol3.
Ensure that you have an Ignite of the system available before performing the same.
