HP XP P9500 Storage - Manual (Page 369)

Edit Ports wizard
Use this wizard to edit port parameters.
If you want to change multiple parameters for a port two times or more, wait until the current task
finishes, and then change the next settings.
If you attempt to change the settings before the current task finishes, only the setting in the second
task will be applied, so the result might be different from what you expected.

•
Initiator: Issues I/O commands to a target port when I/O is executed
between storage systems with Continuous Access Synchronous, and so
on.
•
Target: Receives I/O commands from a host.
• RCU Target: Receives I/O commands from an initiator when I/O is
executed between storage systems with Continuous Access Synchronous,
and so on.
•

system with External Storage.
• If the port attribute is changed from Target or RCU Target to Initiator or
External, the host group that belongs to the port is excluded from the
resource of the resource group. As a result, the host group that belongs
to the port is not displayed in windows.
If this port attribute is changed from Initiator or External to Target or RCU
Target, the host group that belongs to the port belongs to meta_resource.
