Select the attribute of the port indicating I/O flow.Port Attribute
• Initiator: Issues I/O commands to a target port when I/O is executed
between storage systems with Continuous Access Synchronous, and so
on.
• Target: Receives I/O commands from a host.
• RCU Target: Receives I/O commands from an initiator when I/O is
executed between storage systems with Continuous Access Synchronous,
and so on.
• External: Issues I/O commands to a target port of an external storage
system with External Storage.
If this port attribute is changed from Target or RCU Target to Initiator or to
External, the host group of this port belongs to meta_resource.
Therefore, the host group of this port is not displayed in windows.

Select the data transfer speed, in Gbps, for the selected fibre channel port.Port Speed
If Auto is selected, the storage system automatically sets the data transfer
speed to 2, 4, 8, 10, or 16 Gbps.
Caution: If you are using 2-Gbps HBA and switch, set the transfer speed of
the CHF (fibre channel adapter) port as 2 Gbps. If you are using 4-Gbps
HBA and switch, set the transfer speed of the CHF port as 4 Gbps. If you
are using 8-Gbps HBA and switch, set the transfer speed of the CHF port
as 8 Gbps. If you are using 16-Gbps HBA and switch, set the transfer speed
of the CHF port as 16-Gbps. If the Auto Negotiation setting is required, the
linkup may become improper at server restart. Check a channel lamp, and
if it is blinking, remove and re-insert the cable to perform the signal
synchronization and linkup.
When the transfer speed of the CHF port is set to Auto, the data might not
be transferred at the maximum speed depending on the connected device.
Confirm the transfer speed appearing in Speed in the Ports list when you
start up the storage system, HBA, or switch. When the transfer speed is not
the maximum speed, select the maximum speed from the list on the right or
remove and reinsert the cable.
When the transfer speed of the CHF port is set to Auto, the data might not
