Re: bdf output not in sequence
If you want it in order you pipe the bdf output to sort.
The other option is to search for Bill Hassell's 'bdfmegs' script. This has options for sorting, totaling, etc.

Re: bdf output not in sequence
That is because you interfered with the order of the disks by replacing them. This is completely normal. The bdf order is unimportant to HP-UX -- your system is running normally.
> so i want in sequence order either is ascending or descending order
As mentioned, use the (attached) script:
bdfmegs -c1
(sorts by logical volume)
bdfmegs -c6
(sorts by mountpoint)
This is purely cosmetic (which is why bdfmegs was created)

As Duncan said, if you unmount and re-mount a filesystem you will see it move to the end of the list.
If you examine '/etc/mnttab' you can see that actual mount time for each filesystem. For example, the first line of 'mnttab' on one of my servers looks like:
/dev/vg00/lvol3 / vxfs ioerror=mwdisable,largefiles,delaylog,dev=40000003 0 1 1267655762
The last field is the mount time in Epoch seconds. In this case:
# perl -le 'print scalar localtime(1267655762)'
