Viewing Information About a Phy
The 3ware 9690SA RAID controller has 8 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.” In the 9690SA, there are two wide ports and each wide port has 4 phys.
You can check the phy properties on the Controller Phy Summary page.
