Attachment requirements for hosts that run VMware operating systems

When you attach the system to a host that runs on a VMware operating system, certain requirements must be met.

Ensure that enough Fibre Channel adapters are installed in the server to handle the total logical unit numbers (LUNs) that you want to attach.
Ensure that you have the documentation for the VMware operating system, the guest host operating system, and the hardware installation. All Lenovo Storage V series publications are available from the following Web sites:
- For Lenovo Storage V3700 V2 and Lenovo Storage V3700 V2 XP: https://datacentersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/storage/lenovo-storage/v3700v2/6535
- For Lenovo Storage V5030: https://datacentersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/storage/lenovo-storage/v5030/6536
Ensure that you installed the correct operating systems and version levels on your host. Be sure to review the device driver installation documents and configuration utility documents for any additional VMware or guest operating system patches that you might need.
