Discovered LUs remain gray (inactive) until an SRP host connects to them. Once a host connects
to an LU, its icon becomes blue (active). Hosts do not stay continually connected to LUs, so the
color of the icon may change.
If your host includes multiple HCAs, you must configure each individual HCA as an initiator.
When you configure one HCA in a host, other HCAs in the host are not automatically
configured.
Although you can manually configure the WWNN or WWPNs, use the default values to avoid
conflicts.
