Different SCSI address for disk in boot search and ioscan

I have a B2600 with HP-UX 10.20.
There are 1 internal and 3 external disks, with disk mirroring.

The boot disk mirror turns up as SCSI address 14 when searching for bootable devices, and at address 10 when running ioscan. Therefore the station will not boot, unless I disable mirroring, using:
hpux -is -lq (;0)/stand/vmunix

How could this happen, and how can I fix the addressing?

ioscan: (Disk 6 = boot. Disk 10 = mirror of 6)

disk 1 10/0/15/0.6.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP 36.4GMAP3367NC

disk 3 10/1/3/0.8.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP 36.4GST336753LC

disk 4 10/1/3/0.10.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP 36.4GMAS3367NC

disk 5 10/1/3/0.12.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP 36.4GMAS3367NC

Shalom,

Can you post lvlnboot -v output?

The boot search information seems consistent with earlier information.
