Figure 100. Controller Phy Summary Page
The Controller Phy Summary page shows the properties of controller phys.
The Controller Phy Summary page can be accessed in two ways. If you have a
direct-attached drive you can access this page from the
Information >> Drive
Information
page by clicking the phy ID for the drive. If all drives are
connected via expanders, navigate to the
Management >> Controller
Settings
page. Under Other Controller Settings click the # link for Number
of Controller Phys
.
Phy. The ID number assigned to the phy connection.
SAS Address. The SAS address of the phy. Phys within each wide port have
the same SAS address when they are connected to an enclosure. For directly-
connected drives, each phy has a unique SAS address.
Link Enabled. The existing link speed between the controller and the hard
drive or enclosure to which it is connected.
Link Control. Selectable field for setting the link speed between the device
and the controller. The options are 1.5 Gbps, 3.0 Gbps, 6.0 Gbps, and Auto.
The default is Auto. See “Changing the Phy Link Speed” on page 77.
Type. Shows the type of device connected by the phy—either SATA, SAS, or
enclosure. A type of SATA or SAS means that the connection is a direct
connection to the drive. Enclosure connections are made through an expander.
ID. The VPort address of directly-attached devices. Enclosures do not have
VPort numbers, although the drives attached to them do. To find the VPort for
a drive in an enclosure, click the ID link to go to the Drive Information page.
The drive you selected will be highlighted.
