Install the HP patch PHCO_43449 for rtsched.

Issue/Introduction

With HP-UX 11i version 3 March 2013 update, the high availability daemon (HAD) fails to start when rtsched command is used to run system commands like mkdir. The rtsched dumps core when -s option is supplied with value SCHED_HPUX. The high availability daemon (HAD) terminates as it cannot create the diagnostics directory /var/VRTSvcs/diag/had and cannot change the current working directory to diagnostics directory.
