Do you have any failover software installed?
This can cause issues relating to the primary card and secondary card and initialising the other card.
You mentioned you zoned the switch, I’m not sure how you did this without the WWN.
Try removing the primary card and see if you can detect the secondary card.
Have you tested for hardware failure in the fibre or the GBIC’s?

Often secondary paths (ie through the second HBA) are masked by either the operating system or the HBA to prevent overwriting existing volumes. Also, what kind of Fibre Channel switch, and what is the complete zoning setup (ie single zone with all initiators and storage, individual zones for all HBAs, etc., port WWN zoning or node WWN or port zoning?)
