VNX5100 is block-only array ..why are you trying to install that enabler ? Isn't it already pre-installed ?

Can you post a screenshot of Unisphere showing System>Storage Hardware?

It would be best if you can expand to show the SPs and what is under them. It sounds like something is faulted or possibly just unmanaged.

I would recommend an SR get opened for this issue, are you able to access luns on both sides of the array?

My point is that

  1. Whenever you see FLARE/ VNX OE reporting as degraded that there could be something more serious wrong
  2. This is backed up by the point you say yourself that you cannot get logs

I still recommend getting a case open as soon as possible
