Physical View
The Physical view shows the hierarchy of physical devices in the system. 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
between multiple controllers. Each controller has one or more ports. Drives and other devices are attached to the
ports. The properties for each item appear in the right panel of the screen.
