    An SFP (16G SFP+) that is installed in a 16 Gbit/s (maximum) FC port.

  • 32G SWL SFP+

    An SFP (32G SFP+) that is installed in a 32 Gbit/s (maximum) FC port.

  • 64G SWL SFP+

    An SFP (64G SFP+) that is installed in a 64 Gbit/s (maximum) FC port.

    Other than the above SFPs.

Status

The status of the target port is displayed.

Refer to Component Status for details.

Port Mode

The mode of the target port is displayed.

CA

RA

CA/RA

Initiator

Connection

The connection type of the target port is displayed.

  • Fabric

    A connection type that enables simultaneous communication among multiple nodes through a Fibre Channel switch. This connection type can also be used for a direct connection when "Transfer Rate" is "16 Gbit/s" or more.

  • FC-AL

    A connection type that connects multiple nodes in a loop.

Loop ID

If the connection type of the target port is "FC-AL", the Loop ID (0x00 to 0x7D) is displayed.

"Loop ID" is an identification number of a node in a loop.

When "Manual" is selected for "Set Loop ID", 0x00 - 0x7D is displayed.

When "Set Loop ID" is "Automatic", "Ascending" or "Descending" is displayed.

A "-" (hyphen) is displayed when the connection type of the target port is "Fabric".

Transfer Rate

The transfer rate of the target port is displayed.

Auto-negotiation

8 Gbit/s

16 Gbit/s

32 Gbit/s

64 Gbit/s

FC Frame Size

The FC frame size of the target port is displayed.

"FC Frame Size" specifies the length of the communication information.

512 bytes

1024 bytes

2048 bytes

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.

  • 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.

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

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" or "Initiator".

REC Line No.

The REC line number (0 to 127) of the target port is displayed.

The REC line number is used to switch the communication path when a line fails.

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

This item is displayed only when the Advanced Copy license has been registered.

REC Transfer Mode

Whether the REC synchronous transfer mode, the REC asynchronous stack mode, the REC asynchronous consistency mode, or the REC asynchronous through mode is enabled or disabled for the target port is displayed.

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

This item is displayed only when the Advanced Copy license has been registered.

  • Sync

    When the REC synchronous transfer mode is enabled, the target port can be used as an REC synchronous transfer mode path.

  • Async Stack

    When the REC asynchronous stack mode is enabled, the target port can be used as an REC asynchronous stack mode path.

  • Async Consistency

    When the REC asynchronous consistency mode is enabled, the target port can be used as an REC asynchronous consistency mode path.

  • Async Through

    When the REC asynchronous through mode is enabled, the target port can be used as an REC asynchronous through mode path.

TFO Transfer Mode

Whether the TFO transfer mode is enabled or disabled for the target port is displayed.

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

This item is only displayed when "Enable" is selected for the Storage Cluster function.

TFO WWN Mode

When the target port is being used by the Storage Cluster function, "Custom" is displayed if WWN has been changed, and "Default" is displayed if no changes have been made.

A "-" (hyphen) is displayed when the port mode is "RA", "CA/RA", or "Initiator".

This item is only displayed when "Enable" is selected for the Storage Cluster function.

TFO Port

When the target port is being used by the Storage Cluster function, "Used" is displayed, and "Unused" is displayed when the target port is not used.

This item is only displayed when "Enable" is selected for the Storage Cluster function.

Host Group

The name of the host group that has the host affinity setting with the target port is displayed.

If no host group with the host affinity setting exists, a "-" (hyphen) is displayed.

Port Group

The name of the port group to which the target port belongs is displayed.

If the target port does not belong to a port group, a "-" (hyphen) is displayed.
