It is EVA8000. But, my problem is I cannot connect to the host. I move all VMs. There is no VMs on this host.

The EVA8000 is not supported by ESXi versions later than 4.1. ESXi 5.x has new storage features built in (like VAAI) which are not supported by this model (at least I'm not aware of it). André
