Is the disk you booted from a local disk mirrored to the SAN? Or where did you get the setboot info from?

Possible reasons:
- problem with lvlnboot settings
- FC efi drivers/firmware not up to date
- array is not supported for hp-ux boot

To let EFI search the SAN, see this thread
(the CD mentioned is the IPF Offline Diagnostics CD also containing the PDF documents about the how-to)
