I'm sorry I don't have any information for you, Gavin... However, I do
echo your concern.

Just yesterday I was in the process of investigating ADSM installation
on our unit HP-UX 10.x servers (10 of them) when I saw that VXFS is not
supported.  This is very disappointing since our corporation has
standardized on ADSM for NT, Netware and other UNIX servers (100's of
boxes).  Non-support of VXFS will be a show-stopper on the HP-UX boxes
for us as well...
