The Physical view displays the hierarchy of physical devices in the system, as shown in
At the top of the hierarchy is the system itself, followed by the controller and the backplane. One
or more controllers are installed in the system. The controller label identifies the MegaRAID
controller, such as the MegaRAID SAS 9260-8i controller, so that you can easily differentiate
