Asymmetric / Symmetric Logical Unit Access
Select the access type from the host to a volume.
- ACTIVE-ACTIVE / PREFERRED_PATH
When multiple paths are used for connection between the host and the ETERNUS DX Disk
storage system, there are recommended paths and non-recommended paths. While the volume
can be accessed by using either type of path, if a non-recommended path is used, the responses
to the host may require a longer period of time.
- ACTIVE / ACTIVE
When multiple paths are used for connection between the host and the ETERNUS DX Disk
storage system, any paths can be used equally.
iSCSI Discovery Reply Mode
Select the reply mode for the iSCSI Discovery request.
- All - Reply All Ports (Default)
Replies to the server with the information for all the iSCSI ports (iSCSI names and IP addresses).
- Port - Reply Target Port Only
Replies to the server with only the information for the specified iSCSI ports (iSCSI names and IP
addresses).
TPGS Mode
Select whether to enable or disable the Target Port Group Support (TPGS) mode.
- Enable (Default)

When "ACTIVE / ACTIVE" is set for the ETERNUS DX80 S2/DX90 S2, the ETERNUS DX410 S2/DX440 S2,
or the ETERNUS DX8100 S2, the load balancing function of the multipath software in the server
may perform data transfer between controllers. This may cause a reduction in performance.
When connecting the Citrix XenServer and the iSCSI port, select "Port - Reply Target Port Only".
The "TPGS Mode" setting is applied only when "Version 5 (Default)" is selected for the "Inquiry
Standard Data Version" setting. When a value other than "Version 5 (Default)" is selected, the host
response setting completes successfully but the "TPGS Mode" setting is not applied for the ETER-
NUS DX Disk storage system.
