The host bus adapters (HBAs) for z Systems servers must be ordered
as features. The HBAs are either factory-installed when you order
a new system or installed into an existing system by a service representative.
To check the installation of the HBA and
to configure the HBA to work with the Lenovo Storage V7000 system,
complete the following steps:
- Ensure that an HBA is installed on your z Systems host.
- Configure the HBA to run in Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP)
mode.
Note: The phrases HBA adapter configured
in FCP mode or FCP adapter are used interchangeably.
See the following Lenovo website
for additional information about FCP connectivity:
