I had a similar problem and below is how I was able to finally get it fixed. We had two vio servers as well.

Shutdown vio2
Boot up the LPAR with only vio1 connection
Remove the non-rootvg disks from the LPAR that is unable to boot
Copy vio2's HMC profile to "vio2_no_fiber_cards"
Remove the fiber cards from vio2's "vio2_no_fiber_cards" profile
Boot up vio2 from the "vio2_no_fiber_cards" profile so that it boots with no fiber cards.
On vio2, remove the non-rootvg VTDs for the LPAR. They will be in the defined state.
Shutdown vio2
Boot up vio2 from the "vio2_normal" profile so the fibercards are back in the game
Verify that the disks are all back with the correct hdisk numbers (compare against vio1)
Verify that all the other VTDs (virtual target devices) are still there and now "Available" (lsmap –all)
Re-create the LPAR's VTDs (the one that was getting the 25b3 error)
Run cfgmgr on the LPAR and verify it can see the paths (lspath) through vio2.
Try and reboot the LPAR and see if it can come back up.
After a successful reboot, call vioc2 good

To summarize... some how the vio2 server's mapping got messed up. By booting the vio2 server with no fibercards, I could remove the then "defined" disk mappings and the disks without messing anything up. I then rebooted vio2 with fibercards and in the process of doing so, the vio2 server "refound" the disks. I re-created the VTD mappings on the vio2 server, then ran cfgmgr on the LPAR and then the problem went away. I was able to see both paths again with "lspath" and was able to reboot the LPAR with no hangups.

NAME

       libORBitCosNaming-2 - CORBA Name Service Client Library

DESCRIPTION

       libORBitCosNaming-2  is	a  library  for  CORBA naming service clients.	It provides the interface neccessary for an application to use	 a
       CORBA name server with ORBit2. GNOME applications do not directly use the CORBA name service. Instead, GNOME  applications  and	components
       uses the Bonobo activation framework which, in turn, uses the CORBA name service internally.

FILES

       The following files are used by this application:

       /usr/lib/libORBitCosNamiGNOMEsCORBA Name Service Client shared library
