On October 8th 2013, %used that reported by bdf command already reached 89%. I've escalated this issue to HP Call Center and they suggested to stop diagnostic service, delete or move files on /var/stm/logs/os and start diagnostic service. This help to reduce %used to 61%. They've also asked me to update Event Monitoring System (EMS) and onlinediag to the latest version to solve difference of disk usage that reported by bdf and du command. I decided not to update them since %used dropped to 61%.
On October 10th 2013, %used became 62% and the next day became 63%. This is not good because it keeps on growing again. Fortunately I've found "The /var filesystem is full." thread on HP forum (sorry, I can't post the URL due to my posts is < 5 but you can google it with "hp-ux /var full" keyword). So I downloaded lsof utility, installed it and ran it. Finally I've managed to found processes that were locking deleted files. After I killed them, %used dropped to 38%.
Many thanks for all.

NAME
update-rcconf-guide - Create default guide file for rcconf
SYNOPSIS
update-rcconf-guide
DESCRIPTION
Update-rcconf-guide creates the default guide file which rcconf uses.
Update-rcconf-guide searches the package names corresponding to each service file in /etc/init.d directory from dpkg info
files(/var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list) and get the description of these packages using apt-cache. Update-rcconf-guide uses Short-Description in
priority to the description if service files has Short-Description field. Update-rcconf-guide writes those results to
/var/lib/rcconf/guide.default file.
You can write your own guide in user guide file(/var/lib/rcconf/guide) by hand. Rcconf refers Guides in /var/lib/rcconf/guide before those
in /var/lib/rcconf/guide.default.
If you install some packages after executed update-rcconf-guide, you need to re-create this file using update-rcconf-guide so as to refresh
guide.default that includes new guides for installed new services.
Notice: update-rcconf-guide was not executed when you installed rcconf
package.
FILE
/var/lib/rcconf/guide.default
Guide File update-rcconf-guide generates.
/var/lib/rcconf/guide
