Do you have data on this array or is it a new install ?
If you are unable to connect to either of the SP's IP addresses you configured, you might try to run through the Unisphere Storage System Initialization Utility again and see if it discovered. If it is, complete the initialization fully. All data on the array will be removed.
Download from here: https://support.emc.com/search/?text=Unisphere%20Storage%20System%20Initialization%20Utility&product_id=15468&adv=y
If all you want to do is change the IP addresses (not factory reset the array) connect up over the service port and connect direct on the default addresses: spa 128.221.1.250/29 & spb 128.221.1.251/29, where you should be able to access the /setup pages.
Of course you'll need to make sure your management hosts ip address is in that subnet too.

really thanks . you really helped me .
no there is no any data on storage .what is this software .can it change the ip address ? is it like unisphere service manager ?
i just want to connect to the panel and change SP's ip address . (no need to reset ro factory) .
AS you advise , i want to use "Service lan" for connecting and change the management IP address . is it right ?

Set your own ip address to 128.221.1.254 , netmask 255.255.255.248 and don't use a gateway.
You could also try connecting directly to the port, assuming the port on your laptop/management server is Gb

First, you should have your post moved to the correct forum
Is the array Unified or block only ?
There's no magic button to do this, and it can be a lengthy process started by connecting a serial cable to the control station.
Have you tried connecting to the control station and/or both sp's ? That's a lot of addresses to get wrong if you have !
