Is it Possible to use both the A and B Controller in Common Array Manager in Solaris 10?

I have a Storgedge 6130 Array connected to a Fiber Switch then to the Array from a Sunfire V890. In Common Array Manager All Volumes are hosted on the A adapter and when i select it to change it to the B Adapter it Fails. Any ideas why this may be happening?. If possible I would like to have certain Volumes on the Separate Controller for redundancy,or is it only possible to use the A Adapter, What are the requirments needed to have both controllers hosting different volumes
