Do you have DS controller A connected to only one FC switch, and
DS controller B connected to another switch? Two completely separate
fabrics ?

i.e. your host should only see one DS4x000 controller per hba. If it see
both A and B over the same HBA, I think it might try to fail over from A
to B on the same fiber connection you just unplugged.
