About the target port configuration for SAN client backup
and restore
On an appliance that supports SAN Client, two FC HBA cards are reserved for
FTMS. Target port option can be set to either of the following:
■ 2 target port Fibre Channel connection
■ 4 target port Fibre Channel connection
When you enable this feature, the default option is 2 target port Fibre Channel
connection, and Port 1 on both of the two cards is changed to the target mode.
The 2 target port Fibre Channel connection always uses Port 1 on both of the
FC HBA cards.
See “Configuring Fibre Transport media sever settings” on page 63.
About the port configuration for optimized duplication and
Auto Image Replication over FC
■ On an appliance that is only used as the source, you can use any HBA port as
initiators except the currently used FTMS target ports. This is because the FTMS
target ports are reserved as target mode ports and cannot be used for other
purposes.
■ On an appliance that is used as both the source and target, you can use the
predefined HBA port mode configuration or customize the port mode.
Note: When you enable Fibre Transport on the target side of optimized
duplication and Auto Image Replication, the appliance turn some HBA ports
from the standard initiator mode to the target mode. The appliance applies a
predefined target port configuration if you have not customized the port mode.
In the predefined configuration, Port 2 on each card is used as a target port.
Port 1 stays in the standard initiator mode, but is not used until you enable Fibre
Transport on the appliance as a source.
See “Configuring Fibre Transport on a target appliance for optimized duplication
and replication” on page 71.
