I think it is due to the partitioning and formatting of the drive. The partition
table used on HP-UX differs (a lot) from the partition table used on linux. Therefor, an entire disk should be targeted for either linux or hp-ux. And let the respective OS do the initialization (partitioning and file-system).

On linux, its
fdiskor variants likesfdiskto do the partitioning. Then use
mkfs on each partition to create the filesystem. Or let the installer handle this.
But I did so. One disk is dedicated to HP-UX and one to linux. I partitioned the one for linux entirely for linux (fdisk doesn't even recognize the HP-UX partitioning scheme!)
I said I did a mediainit to prove that the disc has no damaged sectors and that hp-ux accesses it correctly
