Use this option to view the properties of a selected controller.
Procedure
1 |
Select a controller in the Physical View; then, select either the Controller >> Properties pull-down menu option, or Properties from the right-mouse pop-up menu. Result: The Controller Properties dialog is displayed. The Base tab displays basic controller information, such as the manufacturer and serial number of the controller and the cache/processor size. The Interfaces tab displays information about the drive and host interfaces to this controller, in two tables. For more information, see the sections of this topic called About the Drive Interfaces Table and About the Host Interfaces Table. |

Select OK to close the dialog. |
About the Drive Interfaces Table
The information in the Drive interfaces table varies, depending on the interface type, as described below.
Interface |
Information Displayed |
SCSI |
Each row in this table describes a controller drive interface (an access path from the selected controller to the storage subsystem drives). Every drive interface in the storage subsystem that is associated with the controller is displayed in this table. The SCSI drive interfaces table has two columns:
|
Fibre Channel |
Each row in this table describes a controller drive interface (an access path from the controller to a single drive port on a storage subsystem drive). (There are two Fibre Channel drive interfaces to every drive, one to each drive port.) Every drive interface in the storage subsystem that is associated with the selected controller is displayed in this table. The Fibre Channel drive interfaces table has two columns:

About the Host Interfaces Table
The information in the host interfaces table varies depending on the interface type.
Interface |
Information Displayed |
SCSI |
Each row in this table describes a controller host interface (a connection from a selected SCSI controller to a host adapter). The SCSI host interfaces table has two columns:
|
Fibre Channel |
Each row in this table describes a controller host interface (a connection from a Fibre Channel controller port to a port on a host). Each Fibre Channel controller may have one or more ports that can be used to access ports on a host. The Fibre Channel host interfaces table has four columns:
