In Fibre Channel, devices are defined as initiators or targets. The host’s HBA is the initiator because it starts I/O transactions toward the storage. The storage system presents its ports as targets, which are the endpoints that receive those I/O requests from initiators and return data. So the storage system’s HBA is referred to as the target. This isn’t about primary or secondary roles; it’s about which side initiates versus which side receives.
