Hello Dimitris,

From the log information you have provided you had two issues.

Controller A went down due to the SC suffering a crash. There are no crash logs provided so I cannot determine why the SC crashed.

ERR) 2020-04-29 09:25:39.014 (10) LocalPipe: SC is down

INF) 2020-04-29 09:25:39.126 (11) HEALTH: add unhealthy component controller/controller_a
INF) 2020-04-29 09:25:39.136 (11) iomHealth: unexpected controllerStatus=5215=ControllerStatusUndefined
ERR) 2020-04-29 09:25:39.203 (11) LocalPipe: SC is down

Controller B lost the heartbeat communication with Controller A (but Controller A was up at the time) and due to the lost PCIE link Controller B went down to allow Controlelr A to remain active. Unfortunately, Controller A was going down for an SC crash.

Couple of things you can do.

Check and make sure you have no unwritten cache on both controllers. The cache may have already flushed but while Controller B was going down there was some cache sitting on that controller. 

There have been many fixes in newer firmware - some relating to SC stability and PCIE link improvement. I suggest you upgrade your system to the latest firmware versions. Also, confirm your the HBAs on your servers are running the latest firmware and drivers.

As Subhajit mentioned - check the other components on your array by performing an MSA Health Check here:
