Hi,
don't know if this is possible, you should be thinking about implementing Auditing to achieve something similar:

See audsys(1m), audevent(1m), audomon(1m) and audit.conf(4).

You are right. I have already checked the four options but I want the precise information with no extra details thats why I think that through bash history I can get the required information.

One more thing, that I can get the timestamp and username .... but the issue is with remotely accessing system IP.

Is it that you run a Bash on an HP-UX box from which you require this data?

You could possibly tinker up your command prompt as a wild mixture of Bash PROMPTING (see man bash) and the HP-UX implementation of the "who" command (note, the GNU/Linux who has different syntax).
Maybe something like this (where I haven't converted the login's originating remote hostname into its IP as demanded (you could use HP-UX's getip command, or dig, host, nslookup etc to this end) would do?

PS1='[\t '$(who -mR|awk '{sub("$","",$NF);sub("$","",$NF);print$1"<="$NF}')']\n\$ '
