With the Show physical VSP bus adapters check box selected (as in this example), the view

configurations. This view may take longer to render and can be more challenging for discerning
the associations between VMs or vPars and devices, especially when many multipath storage
devices exist on the VSP. By default (the check box being unselected), the view is simpler,
showing only the specific storage devices that are being used as backing devices. For a
multipath device, the simple view shows only the device special file (DSF) path, as specified
