Reset Scope

The reset scope of the target port is displayed.

Reset scope is the range where the command reset request from the server is performed, when the target port is connected to multiple servers.

A "-" (hyphen) is displayed when the port mode is "RA".

  • I_T_L (I: Initiator, T: Target, L: LUN)

    Reset (cancel) the command request from the server that sent the command reset request.

  • T_L (T: Target, L: LUN)

    Reset (cancel) the command request from all of the servers that are connected to the port.

Release Reservation if Chip is Reset

Whether the function to release the reservation status of the volume when the target port (chip) is reset is enabled or disabled is displayed.

A "-" (hyphen) is displayed when the port mode is "RA".

The bandwidth limit (10 Mbit/s to 400 Mbit/s) of the target port is displayed.

This item is displayed when the WAN bandwidth that can be used for REC is designated.

A "-" (hyphen) is displayed when the type is "1G iSCSI", "10G iSCSI", or "10G Base-T iSCSI".

MTU

The MTU size of the target port is displayed.

"Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)" is the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted at the one time over the communication network.

A "-" (hyphen) is displayed when the port mode is "CA".

When the port type is "1G iSCSI", "10G iSCSI", or "10G Base-T iSCSI":

576 - 9000

When the port type is "iSCSI RA":
