Before you can attach the host that is running the Microsoft Hyper-V operating system, you must install the host bus adapter (HBA).

Before you install the HBA, ensure that it is supported by the Lenovo Storage V7000 system. See the supported hardware list at the following Lenovo website if you must verify that the HBA is supported:
