If you are running LVM, it's in the BDRA (boot data reserved area) of the boot disk. The boot disk will almost certainly be one of the physical volumes in vg00. When I do a "vgdisplay -v vg00", the last thing I see in that my only physical volume is /dev/dsk/c0t1d0. I can verify that this contain my AUTO file by using the command "lifls -l /dev/dsk/c0t1d0". Then I can display the contents of it by typing "lifcp /dev/dsk/c0t1d0:AUTO -". And in my case it simply displays "hpux".
Be careful with lifcp, it can render a disk unbootable very easily.

vgextend
VGEXTEND(8) System Manager's Manual VGEXTEND(8)
NAME
vgextend - add physical volumes to a volume group
SYNOPSIS
vgextend [-A|--autobackup y|n] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] [ PHYSICAL DEVICE OPTIONS ] VolumeGroupName Physi-
calDevicePath [PhysicalDevicePath...]
DESCRIPTION
vgextend allows you to add one or more initialized physical volumes ( see pvcreate(8) ) to an existing volume group to extend it in size.
If PhysicalDevicePath was not previously configured for LVM with pvcreate (8), the device will be initialized with the same default values
used with pvcreate. If non-default pvcreate values are are desired, they may be given on the commandline with the same options as pvcre-
ate. See PHYSICAL DEVICE OPTIONS for available options. Note that the restore-related options such as --restorefile, --uuid, and --physi-
calvolumesize are not available. If a restore operation is needed, use pvcreate (8) and vgcfgrestore (8).
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
PHYSICAL DEVICE OPTIONS
The following options are available for initializing physical devices in the volume group. These options are further described in the
pvcreate man page.
-f, --force
-y, --yes
-Z, --zero y|n
--labelsector sector
--metadatasize size
--pvmetadatacopies copies
--dataalignment alignment
--dataalignmentoffset alignment_offset
Examples
"vgextend vg00 /dev/sda4 /dev/sdn1" tries to extend the existing volume group "vg00" by the new physical volumes (see pvcreate(8) )
"/dev/sdn1" and /dev/sda4".
