I have a Hyper-V Host Cluster of 4 hosts. They are all Lenovo x3650 servers. I have a SAS HBA installed in two of them and want to use the HBA on one of those to connect an IBM DS3524 storage system to a VM on that host for Veeam backups. Is it possible to pass that HBA through to the VM to connect that storage system? I can see where to add other hardware like mapping the DVD drive and all, but I can't seem to find where to map the HBA through.

Hyper-V is a native hypervisor; it can create virtual machines on x86-64 systems and supersedes Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT. A server computer running Hyper-V can be configured to expose individual virtual machines to one or more networks. Hyper-V Server supports remote access via Remote Desktop Connection. Administration and configuration of the host OS and the guest virtual machines is generally done over the network.

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
