Missed root device in lvlnboot

Hi.

Machine rx7640, HPUX 11.23. I clonned system to new disk (using DRD tool). Next disk was used in another rx7640 macjine as boot disk. First boot made panic during initation root device. I booted in LVM maintenance Mode (boot vmunix -lm), reimported vg00 (using correct special file for boot disk) and tried lvlnboot. Boot, swap and dump - corrected, but during lvlnboot -r command for root device I received the message:

lvlnboot: A Logical Volume has already been assigned
to be the Root or Swap Logical Volume.

I tried to update to version 11.31 - update was successful, but problem is still unresolved, however system started and i can work. But lvlnboot -v /dev/vg00 shows:

# lvlnboot -v /dev/vg00
Boot Definitions for Volume Group /dev/vg00:
Physical Volumes belonging in Root Volume Group:
        /dev/dsk/c35t0d1s2 -- Boot Disk
Boot: lvol1     on:     /dev/dsk/c35t0d1s2
Root: ???       on:     /dev/dsk/c35t0d1s2
Swap: lvol2     on:     /dev/dsk/c35t0d1s2
Dump: lvol2     on:     /dev/dsk/c35t0d1s2, 0

Any ideas how to fix it?
