I create a svm provide iSCSI service to a vSphere ESXi host,

the svm have two lif and locate in different node,

When I see the path in vCenter,

It always only a path is Active(I/O),

another path is Active,

Is any possible make all LIF be Active (I/O) ?

i think it's not possible.

only the lif on the node holding the aggregate where the volume with iscsi luns resides can have active i/o.

but you could configure another two lifs on separate vlans to have two "active (i/o)" and two "active" paths.

@Raoul_Schaffner : I absolutely agree! Thet's how ALUA works for iSCSI and FC on FAS and AFF!
