d FC ports support Private and Public Fibre Channel attachments.
The default port mode setting for FC ports 1 and 2 is Target
Public, and the default port mode setting for FC ports 3
through 6 is Initiator Public. With Public, the loop is scanned
for Fabric devices and allows the Fabric to have access to all
available target devices that are attached to it. With Private, the
local loop is scanned for devices except for Fabric devices. In
Target mode, the port is set to receive connections from
another FC initiator, such as a host or FC switch. In Initiator
mode, the port scans for storage devices. In Target and
Initiator mode, the port operates in both modes
simultaneously.
e The default connection mode for both target and initiator ports
is Loop Preferred. For target ports, other options include Loop
and Point to Point. For initiator ports, other options include
Loop and Loop Preferred. If you change a target port that is
set to Point to Point to initiator mode, the port connection type
automatically changes to Loop Preferred. Consult your service
representative before making changes to this setting.
For reference purposes, the following table shows the default FC I/O
blade port settings as initially set up at installation.
