Port Target, Initiator, and Peer Modes

The system controller node ports operate in different modes. Depending on the type of port, the
port may operate in target, initiator, or peer mode.
FC ports use the following firmware mode settings:
Target mode for ports that connect to hosts and receive commands from those hosts.
Initiator mode for ports that connect to the system physical disks and send commands to those
disks.
Initiator mode for Remote Copy over FC (RCFC).
