I am not quite sure I understand your question.
When you create Virtual Machines, you assign "backing stores" to them as discs. This could be a PV, an LV, a file system of even a file.

When you install the guest OS, it sees this as a "disc" as a psuedo scsi device.
Once the OS is installed, then the relevant devices are there as seen by the guest OS, so for example HP-UX will see the disc, assign the device files and maintain the information in the /etc/ioconfig file just like a normal HP-UX system.

not to my knowledge, but then these are not real discs in the guest OS.
As far as the Virtual Machine Host is concerned, I do not know the answer
I believe it is no
