Hello and thank you.

I do not understand a couple of things in your post:

1 "at the PDC prompt", not sure what PDC prompt is, I typed "sea IPL" in configuration portion of menu
2 "try refixing the disk", not sure what that means

I just tried "sea ISL" (this option does not exist in configuration area of menu) and system returned following:

ERROR: Unknown device
Search Table has been cleared.

I also tried "sea" and interesting enough the system returned the following:

Path number Device path Device type
P0 LAN <address> <address> 100/Full Dx
P1 IDE LITE-ON LTR-24102B
P2 SCSI.2.0 HP C1537A
P3 FWSCSI.6.0 HP 36.4GMAN3367MC

So one question is why does "sea IPL" return "No devices found" and "sea" returns above?

Thanks in advance.

So Connect this disk to other system and do ioscan -fnC disk and chk whether this disk is getting detected.
If the above fails and u don't have ignite or backup then I am sorry. It's a disaster.
If the disk is getting detected and still the problem persists then It's for sure that the LIF volume is corrupted. Do POST and with results. We can try to find a solun.
