Hi,

Check the connectivity guides to see if al the version, also commandview is ok for you OS

You don't need to put an ip adres on the presentation of the luns

You would typically present the virtual disk to the WWIDs of ALL HBAs in both servers of your cluster. The server IP address definitions that you make in Command View are not really used for anything.

thank's guys ,
for the 2C2D config of an EVA4000 did i need a loop switch to connect the 2 disks enclosures or how i will connect them ?

For the smaller configs like you have HP normally uses direct point-to-point copper cables to form the loops. You don't usually get a loop switch until you go beyond a '4D' configuration. Getting the connectivity exactly right is a bit of a trick and I'd highly recommend getting an HP field engineer on hand to add a shelf.
