The information in the Drive interfaces table varies depending on the interface type.
Interface Type | Information displayed |
SCSI |
Each row in this table describes a controller drive interface, an access path from this controller to drives in the Storage Subsystem. Every drive interface in the Storage Subsystem associated with the selected controller is displayed in this table.

Fibre channel |
Each row in this table describes a controller drive interface, an access path from this controller to a single drive port on a Storage Subsystem drive. (There will be two fibre channel drive interfaces to every drive, one to each drive port.) Every drive interface in the Storage Subsystem associated with the selected controller is displayed in this table.

The information in the Host interfaces table varies depending on the interface type.
Interface Type | Information displayed |
SCSI |
Each row in this table describes a controller host interface, a connection from a SCSI controller to a host adapter.
