Increase Size of a Volume Group

Hi I have hp-ux 10.20

I have have my operating system VG of 7 GB in a 36Gb disk. So I have like 29GB of unused disk space. There is any way to increase my VG size, or to add another VG in the same disk so I can use all the disk space?

Another question, what is the maximun size that a VG can be in hp 10.20?

NAME
zerofill - clear unused disk space and blank devices. SYNOPSIS
zerofill [options] [devices] ... DESCRIPTION
This command is a relative of nullfile. Like nullfile, it can be used to write all unused disk space with '0', thereby making file systems that are stored on virtual machines easier to pack. In addition, zerofill can fill unused disk space with random data before zeroing, which can be useful to remove forensic trace of deleted files. Finally, zerofile can be told to operate on and zero (erase) complete disk devices. OPTIONS
--random=count Number of passes to use writing random data before wiping data. --help Outputs help screen for the user. AUTHOR
