> PROD# lvlnboot -v
This shows that the basic LVM structures are correct, that there are two disks (c0t6d0 and c8t6d0) declared as boot devices. However, it does not verify the boot string or boot path in the processor ROMs.
Use these commands to check the boot string:
lifcp /dev/dsk/c0t6d0:AUTO -
lifcp /dev/dsk/c8t6d0:AUTO -
Use this command to check the processor ROMs:
setboot
To make things easier, I've combined several boot query commands into a script: bootinfo which is attached.

These are secondary volume groups and not required for the system to boot. At some time in the past, an administrator added additional disks and used LVM commands to create vg01 and vg02. They are not activated, probably because they were removed improperly. Look at /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log and /etc/rc.log for error messages.

It's not old, it's prehistoric (1996-97). ALWAYS use the manufacturer's documentation, especially for your relatively new system. Internet postings can be helpful but always check the accuracy by age and similar docs. Here's the correct documentation for disks and mirroring:
