HP 3PAR Operating System Software - Manual (Page 205)

5. If both assigned systems are running supported HP 3PAR OS, the checkbox to Create additional
targets for simultaneous synchronous and periodic operations is enabled.
When Additional Targets for Multimode is selected, an additional target pair is presented
with the default target name of system followed by _1 and _2. You can change the target
name as desired, and the system performs a validation to confirm target names on the same
system are unique.
At this point, if you reassign a system to one that runs a non-supported HP 3PAR OS, the
Additional Targets for Multimode is cleared and disabled, and the additional target pair is
removed.
