MY Question is for AIX server not have Power path devices or the name of disks are not hdpower like the attached one, how can we investigate that The both HBA s are seeing same devices on different directors,
Oh there is another interesting section in HEAT output: ** INQ formatted output for EMC devices ***
** INQ formatted output for EMC devices ***

I can see only 3 lines, each with a different symdev number. Your host can see the VCM and 2 RAID5 devices from processor 13A:0. Last digits of your DMX serial number are 39. Device 0000 is VCM, device 0144 is the big drive while device 02AF is a tiny device (a quorum for a cluster?).
However you are "seeing" devices only from 1 path (hard to guess which one without access to the host).
MY Question is for AIX server not have Power path devices or the name of disks are not hdpower like the attached one, how can we investigate that The both HBA s are seeing same devices on different directors, even The master Agent are not installed on the AIX server, in windows we know it through SAN server suite, is there utility in AIX, we want to check the HBA also after Firmware Upgrade, your Fast Response is highly Appreciated
If you want to check that both HBA are "seeing" same devices you can use the bare syminq command and a little grep'ing here and there .. Right now I don't have an unix host to show you actual commands. Probably I'll be able to show you something later.
It looks like you pasted also HEAT output .. and if you look carefully you can find a "*** Adapter checks ***" section ...
*** Adapter checks ***
NOTICE : Found IBM adapter instance : fcs0 - state is Available.

You can easily find a warning regarding hba firmware:
WARNING : Firmware Level: 210X8 - this is NOT at latest recommended IBM 5758 firmware 271X4.
I guess you can ask IBM how to upgrade their firmware
I'm not an AIX expert however looking at the following section:
** Disk Lookup table (serial number to device map) ***
Device Location Serial No Disk
fcs1 U787B.001.DNWFK1N-P1-C4-T1
fcnet1 U787B.001.DNWFK1N-P1-C4-T1
fscsi1 U787B.001.DNWFK1N-P1-C4-T1
Device Location Serial No Disk
fcs0 U787B.001.DNWFK1N-P1-C3-T1
fcnet0 U787B.001.DNWFK1N-P1-C3-T1
fscsi0 U787B.001.DNWFK1N-P1-C3-T1 39000130 hdisk2
39144130 hdisk3
392AF130 hdisk4
392D7130 hdisk5
it looks like fcs1 can not see disks while you see 4 devices (hdisk2...5) from fcs0/fscsi0.
