Hi:

One possibility is given by Technical Knowledge Base document #KBRC00010650: you cannot use disks connected to an A5838A
SCSI card for swap or dump space.

Patch PHCO_27408 (this is for HP-UX 11.11):

All the above documents mention the error you are getting somewhere in them. Whether they are applicable to you depends on what version of HP-UX you are using and what type of hardware you have.
