has anyone come across such issue ?

You should set ILM size bigger.

"The goal to avoid slow boot times is to have the number of granules to be close to 50. Any quantity up to 100 will show reasonable boot times, but HP recommends a value close to 50."

Boot your system in npar mode and set approprite ILM size

vparenv -g ILM:1024:y

The resolution is to re-create all VPARs as follows:
Boot to NPAR mode
Create the first VPAR with -g clm:1024:y -g ilm:1024:y option.
Create all other VPARS.
