Support For Internal Multiple Controllers

On PowerEdge systems with dual bays (backplanes), the hard drives are managed by independent PERC H710P cards. The PERC H710P cards do not share the disks or the RAID volumes. A drive can be identified using the following as guideline: Controller: Bay/Backplane: Slot
