Solutionyes! the file /stand/vmunix is the current running kernel!
In order to make a change to a kernel, we would change to the directory /stand/build where all work in creating a new kernel is performed and issue the "system_prep" command...

Re: vmunix
/stand/vmunix is kernel image which gets loaded while booting. /stand/vmunix.prev is the previous kernel (backup of old kernel).
Though this is the only file, other files are required to make kernel, boot the system, ioconfig...etc. During the kernel load it may need several other files. So a system cannot boot just with /stand/vmunix

Re: vmunix
Yes, /stand/vmunix is the only kernel file in hp-ux which is loaded by default at system power ON. /stand/vmunix.prev is the backup copy created whenever any change is made to kernel. System can also be booted using the backup copy in case main kernel file is corrupted.

Re: vmunix
Location of the kernel file :-
The root directory contains both the boot program and the file containing the kernel for the system. The name of this kernel file varies from one manufacturer's machine to another, but will usually include the letters nix.
Eg:-
ls /*nix*
-rwxr----- 1 root 1558734 Sep 24 1992 /vmunix
This lists details of any files in the root directory with the characters nix in their name. In this example it lists vmunix - a common name for the kernel file.
VMUNIX is HP-UX default Kernel file. This file locate at directory /stand/vmunix.
