boot quorum on IA systems

[Rick Garland]

I am having trouble with the IA systems.
I have posted my commands and results here. Essentially I am getting the message that my boot devices are not efi partition. I know this particular system boots because it was bounced last night. No, did not test the mirror boot.

From previous posts, I should be see the "boot vmunix -lq" message. But instead I am see the "invalid efi partition" message.

Any clues?
Thanks

Finding some info

Running the idisk command
idisk -p /dev/rdsk/c3t2d0s2
idisk version: 1.31
idisk: Primary partition information not valid.
Run idisk with -r option to restore.

Going to try and restore the partition info.
