        iostat shows dynamic of disk transfers, not their sizes.

        Too complicated way. In AIX I have at least 'lspv' and 'lsattr'
        utilities. Why should not HP-UX provide me with something this
        convenient ?

> Then, you can always peek into sam: run a `ps` to see which commands `sam` fires.

        Again, that's the inconvenient way. In AIX, their 'smit' utility lets
        me to see what command it intends to run.

        I am now on hard way to get used to HP-UX :>

        Thank you all for your further help .
