SCSI initiator and target
In computer data storage, a SCSI initiator is the endpoint that initiates a SCSI session, that is, sends a SCSI command. The initiator usually does not provide any Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs).
SCSI initiator
<hardware> A device that begins a SCSI transaction by
issuing a command to another device (the SCSI target),
giving it a task to perform. Typically a SCSI host adapter is
the initiator but targets may also become initiators.

SCSI initiator and target
In computer data storage, a SCSI initiator is the endpoint that initiates a SCSI session, that is, sends a SCSI command. The initiator usually does not provide any Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs).
On the other hand, a SCSI target is the endpoint that does not initiate sessions, but instead waits for initiators' commands and provides required input/output data transfers. The target usually provides to the initiators one or more LUNs, because otherwise no read or write command would be possible.
