Installation of Proxmox on four HP physical server and configuration of two HP data SANs.

not a good option, use 3 or 5 (odd number) of nodes. If two nodes fail in this setup, your cluster will have a problem, no quorum.
Hopefully, your SANs have a proper clustering and PVE support, if not you will not have a lot of fun.
Better idea, which we did in the past:
Break up the SAN, take the disks and plug them in 3 (or 5) nodes, put CEPH on them and have tripple-redundancy.
Ask your vendor, yet I've never heard that HPE has working PVE integration and I don't think of "just FC storage", that will work nonetheless, it's Linux.
If you don't have proper vendor support, you will not have thin provisioning and snapshot capabilities. Best to buy a storage that has proper integration.
Hi @zahmad , welcome to the forum.
Asking a free, volunteer-driven community to provide zero-to-production step-by-step instructions for a commercial-grade infrastructure can sometimes lead to less-than-satisfactory results.
The topic you've raised has been discussed extensively in the forum, and there are numerous blogs, articles, and official documentation available on it. You may find it more efficient to engage a local Proxmox Solutions partner or consultant for tailored guidance.
Cheers,
