is it possible to have a copy of the vob in a different machine for testing purpose ?
I know I can move the vob to another server using moving a vob
But , doing this makes the vob unavailable at the original location. So, a live vob cannot be used this way as people would be accessing it from old location.

Yes, the "moving vob" procedure would still apply.
You only need to register it to a different registry server, and preferably with a different tag.
That means: no need for a -replace
option:
cleartool register -vob \\vobsvr01\vobstg\libpub.vbs
cleartool mktag -vob -tag \libpub \\vobsvr01\vobstg\libpub.vbs
That way, the live vob remains accessible.
