Install the drivers ( mostly it is there if that is an IBM supplied hardware).
Install the HBA ( hot plug ) , no need to shutdown the box.
cfgmgr
Plug in the Fibre cables from the HBAs to the SAN.
Zone them
Make sure the Storage system can see the HBAs (HBA logged into the fabric).
Mask/Map the required SAN devices to the HBAs.

The plug-in handles the following operations for driver o Get, set and save per driver instance attributes. Commands The user can explicitly send the following commands to the driver plug-in by specifying the instance#> HBA controller hardware path> instance#> option: Displays information on attributes. Saves value of attributes in a persistent store. Sets values of attributes.
