Viewing Information About a Phy
The 3ware 9750 RAID controller family has multiple phy transceivers (phys) that receive and transmit the serial data stream between the controller and drives and other devices in the SAS domain.
Phys are associated with the SAS ports on the controller. Multiple phys can be associated with one SAS port, which is then called a “wide port.”
You can check the phy properties on the Controller Phy Summary page.
