@Peasant: yes all have vxfs format filesystem ..
I think you have LVM format filesystems which though they mount as "vxfs" are not the same as a native Veritas filesystem (where you would use "vx" commands).
The full Veritas package is available for HP-UX 11 as an alternative to LVM and I believe that it is the default on HP-UX 11.23 . This is of no use to you.
vbe is making some very good points. A mirrored discs is unsuitable for copying with "dd" because it relies on another disc for its integrity. Every disc in the Volume Group holds a record of the whole Volume Group and every disc has a unique identity within LVM.
