Re: Extneding the /var file system
If you have OnlineJFS you can do this "on-the-fly". This is a "chargeable" product feature but well worth the cost. You can use SAM to guide you throught the resize, or you can do this yourself. Do:
# lvextend -L n /dev/vgxx/lvolx
# fsadm -b 1024n /var
where n is the NEW SIZE of the logical volume in megabytes, not the increment in size;
and, 1024n is the product of 1024 and the number of megabytes you want to filesystem to ultimately be.

Re: Extneding the /var file system
The easiest way I have seen is to do a make_recovery tape. Then rebuild your vg00 from that tape and resize the /var logical volume. It's very easy, works very well and depending on the size of vg00 I've found it takes 2-3 hours.

Re: Extneding the /var file system
2. If /var is HFS, you have to boot in single user mode, lvextend the logical volume where /var resides, extendfs and everything should be fine. No other headaches. To boot in single user mode and the syntax for lvextend, extendfs, see ?Installing HP-UX 11.0 and Updating HP-UX 10.x to 11.0, Chapter 7 Troubleshooting, Adjusting File System Size. The example from there is exactly on increasing /var. See as well same book on http://www.docs.hp.com/dynaweb/hpux11/@Generic__CollectionView

Do the following:
1.Backup up your /var
2. bdf to know where /var is
3.Boot through ISL to single user mode (ISL>hpux -is)
4.lvextend -L NNN /dev/vg00/lvoln (for var)
5.extendfs -F (filesystem) /dev/vg00/rlvoln
6.reboot
Cheers!
