a)
With HP-UX in combination with MirrorDisk/UX you can mirror logical volumes to the other disk and later break the mirror.

b)
What and why do you want to format??
Do you use mediainit (hp-ux)?
anyway way don't do following:
Check the name of your disk special file:
ioscan -fnkC disk
pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c#t#d# (-B is disk must be bootable)
vgextend
lvcreate ...
mkdir and mount filesystems
========
cp -p -r sourcedir destdir
for each filesystem

If the disk needs to replace the bootable disk there is a lot more you should prepare with mkboot, setboot, lvlnboot commands
This whole procedure can best be looked up on the HP site.

Or even better
c)
Perform a restore, this is a good restore test.

Good luck
Rene

GNOME-DISK-IMAGE-MOU(1) 					gnome-disk-utility					   GNOME-DISK-IMAGE-MOU(1)

NAME

       gnome-disk-image-mounter - Attach and mount disk images

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-disk-image-mounter [--writable] [URI...]

DESCRIPTION

       gnome-disk-image-mounter can be used to set up disk images. Both regular files and GVfs URIs (such as smb://filer/media/file.iso) can be
       used in the URI parameter. If no URIs are given and a window server is running, a graphical file chooser will be presented.

       Note that gnome-disk-image-mounter will not mount filesystems or unlock encrypted volumes in the disk image - this responsibility is left
       to the automounter in GNOME Shell to ensure that the same interactions happen as if the disk image was a regular physical device or disc.

       By default the disk images are attached read-only, use the option --writable to change this.

RETURN VALUE

       gnome-disk-image-mounter returns 0 on success and non-zero on failure.
