/cx show phy

The /cx show phy command shows a list of the phys with related information
for the specified controller.

In the following example, the column Device Type indicates whether the
connected device is an enclosure, or a SATA or SAS drive. The Device
column is the device ID or handle. There are three Link Speed columns:
Supported denotes the link speed capability of the phy/device, Enable denotes
the current link speed setting, and Control denotes the link control setting.

Example of 9690SA-8E connected to drives in an enclosure:

// localhost> /c3 show phy

Device --- Link Speed (Gbps) ---

phy7 500050e000030236 ENCL N/A 1.5-3.0 3.0 Auto

In the previous example, for phy1, the link speeds supported are 1.5 Gb/s and
3.0 Gb/s. The current link speed for phy1 is 3.0 Gbps, and the link control
setting is Auto. The link control setting could be either 1.5, 3.0, or Auto. Auto
denotes Automatic Negotiation, where the best negotiated speed possible for
that link is used.

(Note that if SAS 2.0 is used with a 9750 controller, the link speeds can be up
to 6.0 Gb/s.)

Example of 9690SA-8I with direct attached drives:

//localhost> /c3 show phy

Device --- Link Speed (Gbps) ---
