Hi,

I'll guess that you've got a version of Command View EVA that doesn't know how to talk to VCS 2006.

You'll probably find some useful info in my old thread here (towards the bottom):

You need to be running CV EVA 3.1 to talk to VCS 2.00x. I don't recall what version gets installed when you restore the SMA.

Good luck,

Rob

The oldest version available independently is Command View EVA 3.1, but it's not compatible with VCS 2.xxx. You need the storage management appliance to start. So get the restore CD and perform a restore.

Then perform a complex upgrade path, upgrading CV versions and firmware slowly, until you reach VCS 3.110 and CV 9.2.

Thanks for the prompt update
I had tried to restore the storage appliance from restore CD but the same issue is still as is:
The command view is seeing the EVA controllers but cant brows any thing and giving the same Error

One thing that might work, since you have the Restore CD is to rebuild the server from scratch. I know it might take a while, but in the long run should work better for you.

Hi,

What version of Command View EVA do you now have installed ?

If you've reinstalled the SMA with the restore CD, then it's likely that you will need to install a later version to get to one that is compatible with VCS 2.006. I think the SMA started on CV EVA 3.0a

Try upgrading to CV EVA 3.1.

Cheers,

Rob
