System boots into AIX ok, right? If yes, then maybe weird corruption of
the ODM in some way.

If the system boots into AIX ok, can you post the output of 'cfgmgr -v'
but only the stuff related to hdisk0?

If the system does not boot into AIX ok, can you try moving the drives
to another system to rule out SCSI board damage? (It does happen once
in a blue moon.)

Also, you may want to open up the system after powering down, and re-seat
all adapters, drives, boards, etc.
