Yes - I want to change the root disk. There's 2 x 9GB disks in there and I would like to replace both of them.

=>Please make it clear whether both these disks are part of root VG (vg00).
CHECKING IF NEW DISKS ARE WORKING PROPERLY:
Insert the new disks into your system and do following steps:
1. insf -eC disk <-- install drivers
2. ioscan -fnC disk <-- check if new disks are CLAIMED
3. diskinfo /dev/rdsk/cxtydz <-- from ioscan o/p
Now, if the new disks are working fine, you have two options that will be simple to follow:
1. Boot from hpux 11.23 DVD/CD
2. Perform cold installation (fresh OS on fresh disks) on newer disks.
OR
1. Take ignite backup of present OS (ignite utility is free to download)
2. Restore this backup onto new disks
I consider the earlier option a better and easy one.
Hope this helps.
Please revert back in case of any issues.
