Check SAN switches for any zoning changes. Make sure the Command View server is zoned with the EVA.
If everything looks right, try re-booting the Command View server.

supper!..... I have to reboot the controller one by one and then the CV can see the EVA4400. Everything are runing well. But I don't known why the CV cannot see the EVA afterr 2 month? Will I need to reboot the controller every month? I will not happy when do that, because out system is core banking, we need the system runing 24/24 and run correctly!

Hi,

I also having the same problem where the commmand view will lose its connectivity to the EVA storage system after a few months. Restarting the controllers prove to resolve the issue temporarily but have you rectified this with a permanent working solution? By the way, what XCS firmware version are you using now? Thanks.

There is an advisory about the use of FCping causing EVA controllers to reboot.
