Host Configuration

The target is the storage device itself or an appliance which controls and serves volumes.
The target is the device which performs SCSI command or bridge to an attached storage
device.
Each iSCSI node, that is, an initiator or target, has a unique IQN (iSCSI Qualified Name). The
IQN is formed according to the rules that were adopted for Internet nodes. The IQNs can be
abbreviated by using a descriptive name, which is known as an alias. An alias can be
assigned to an initiator or a target.

Fibre Channel Technology
Fibre channel is an extremely fast system interface. It was initially developed for use
primarily in the supercomputing field, but has become the standard connection type for SAN
in enterprise storage.
The target is the storage device itself or an appliance which controls and serves volumes or
virtual volumes. The target is the device which performs SCSI commands or bridges to an
attached storage device.
Fibre Channel is the traditional method used for data center storage connectivity. The
XCubeSAN supports fibre channel connectivity at speeds of 4, 8, and 16 Gbps. Fibre
Channel Protocol is used to encapsulate SCSI commands over the fibre channel network.
Each device on the network has a unique 64 bit WWPN (World Wide Port Name).
