Virtual AIX 6.1 host will not log into VMAXe

I have a virtual AIX 6.1 host that will not log into VMAXe on FA ports 2E:0, 4E:0.  I have checked zoning (Cisco 9513) and ensured that each of the four WWN's log into the switch. but when I run symaccess -sid 0554 list logins -dirport 2E:0 it shows the host a "Logged in" no  and "On Fabric" Yes.  I have done the following troubleshooting:

  1. EMC support logged in to the array and ran full health checks with no issues on the array or these specific ports.
  2. The system admin has run cfgmgr several times.
  3. The system admin has confirmed that the HBA's are set for "switched fabric"
  4. Ensured that the host WWN's log into the fabric where expected and with the correct WWN's.
  5. I have removed zoning, cleared the logins entries and added the zones back,
  6. Run an EMC grab on the host and it comes back with no issues.

ADDITIONAL INFO:

Host Name: LITIADBD001PF

Product Model                        : VMAXe
Symmetrix ID                         : 000195900554

There are two physical AIX 6.1 servers connected to these FA ports and functioning without issue.

I am also having this issue with two other AIX virtual nodes on FA ports 1F:0, 3F:0.
