HP storage works MSA2000 how to add host?

Hello.
Tell me who came across how to connect the host to the storage, the host itself is in the hp bladesystem c7000.
Let's say I need to connect a vdisk to a ProLiant BL460c G6 blade.
The storage and blade are connected to each other using sas.

In order for the host to connect to the MSA2000, you must first install the drivers on the server's SAS controller. Then, in the MSA2000, check (via the web interface) whether there is access from a specific controller port to a specific vdisk. In the web interface in the menu on the left, expand "Vdisks", select the desired vdisk -> right click -> Provisioning -> Map Volumes -> check the "Map" checkbox -> configure access (read-write, read-only or no-access) on the right ports of the right controller (A1, A2, B1, B2 etc)
As soon as the host gets access to the volumes (Volume) of your vdisk, these volumes will become visible on the server, in the case of OS Windows, in the Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk snap-in management. Further, working with these vdisk volumes for Windows will no longer differ from working with regular HDDs, i.e.

On the server where the vdisk with storage is connected, no controllers are visible in the storage explorer.
How the disk is connected, I do not understand, and how to connect so far too.
On other servers that are in the blade, the situation is similar.
