Filesystem on file

How do i create a filesystem on a file ?
In linux ( and solaris i think ) i would use losetup to attatch the file to a device, and then run mkfs as usual.
But as far as i can understand theres no such functionality in HP-UX.
Any pointers at all would be great.

Hi,

Using a file as a device is possible by using Integrity Virtual Machine.
