Hi,
assuming that you have:
a) 2 HBAs connected to 2 separate fabrics and b) EVA4k (active/active) front ports are connected to both fabrics (2 in each)
c) all EVA4k front ports are zoned with all host HBAs
THEN
you can loadbalance the HW IO paths from the host to the EVA via the multipathing:

the pain is one part of the reality

Re: Vdsik Presenting
You can present separate vdisks to each HBA on the same server. However the best practice is to present vdisks to both HBA and enable Multipathing to have load balancing and redundancy.
As mentioned above ensure that you are connected each HBA to each fabric and is zoned properly with EVA ports on the fabrics.
