The first step for attaching the host on a VMware operating
system is to install the host bus adapter (HBA).
Before you install the HBA, ensure that it is supported by
the
SAN Volume Controller.
See the supported hardware list at the following
IBM® Web
site if you need to verify that the HBA is supported:
www.ibm.com/storage/support/2145
To install the HBA, use the following general steps:
- Shut down your host and its attached peripherals, following
the manufacturer's recommendations.
- Install the HBA, using the adapter manufacturer's installation
instructions.
