Refer to http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/san/fcp_iscsi_config/QuickRef/SSICFMODE_1205.pdf

In a clustered system both nodes need to have their target ports set to the same cfmode. To summarise the different cfmodes, which ones to use and where:

cfmode	Supported systems	Benefits and limitations
partner	All systems except FAS270, FAS60xx, and systems with 4-Gb adapters	Supports all host OS types. Supports all switches.
single_image	All systems	Supports all host OS types. Supports all switches. Makes all LUNs available on all target ports.
dual_fabric	FAS270 only	Supports all host OS types. Requires fewer switch ports. Does not support all switches. Requires switches that support public loop.
standby	All systems except FAS20xx, FAS31xx, and FAS200 series	Requires more switch ports. Supports only Windows and Solaris hosts.
mixed	All systems except FAS270c and FAS60xx	Supports all host OS types. Does not support all switches. Requires switches that support public loop.

When you log into the other cluster node, what does a "show cfmode" return? Could you confirm that the other node is also in single_image mode?

It's ok !

i think is because i can't use 2 FC port on one node in my FAS2020
