I don't think HP9000 systems support USB. But you could use NFS to mount it from a server that does support USB, linux for instance.

The installtion process is almost correct , however the HP unix doesnt support USB disks , why are you not thinking to instll normal SCSI disks.

mount fstab is last process in installing a disk , you need to do a pvcreate , import or create a vollume group with the new disk and then create the new logical volume , after that you can edit /etc/fstab to reflect this change.

To create a volume you need to have is free unused space , you can check the following link to understand / implement what you require.
