actually we figured out what was the problem. The problem was with SAN Zoning. In case of DUAL VIO Setup SAN Zoning has to be different.
Each switch should see both Servers

When using only one Fibre Channel per Virtual I/O Server, you need an
additional switch to have a highly available configuration. In this case, it is
important that the SAN zoning be configured such that the single Fibre Channel
in each Virtual I/O Server LPAR is zoned to see both storage controllers in the
FAStT. If a second Fibre Channel is used for additional redundancy, the storage
administrator must ensure that each Fibre Channel is zoned to only one of the
DS4200 controllers. Rules for attachment of FAStT storage units to AIX can be
found in the Storage Manager documentation of the Storage Manager products.
