Installing and configuring the HBA on System z hosts

The host bus adapters (HBAs) for a System z® host must be ordered as features and they are either factory-installed when you order a new system or installed into an existing system by an IBM® service representative.

Perform the following steps to check the installation of the HBA and to configure the HBA to work with the SAN Volume Controller:
  1. Ensure that FICON®, FICON Express, FICON Express2, or FICON Express4 features are installed on your System z host.
  2. Configure the HBA to run in FCP mode.

See the following IBM Web site for additional information about FCP connectivity:
