Figure 27. Physical Disk Path Configuration Datastores View After datastores are created on storage array virtual disks, you can use the Datastore tab to understand the mapping of datastores to storage array virtual disks. The intent of this view is to provide you with a quick status and view of the datastores and their underlying storage virtual disks. Use this view to identify the storage array where the datastore resides and the associated storage array virtual disk. You can view the health status of the virtual disk, the associated host and host group, RAID level, capacity and datastore free space. This view also displays the details of the datastore, such as the extent, LUN number, and health status. The Datastores view is context sensitive, so selecting a VM in the tree only displays storage elements for the selected VM. See Figure 28. 38 Dell MD Storage Array vCenter Plug-in

Physical Disk Path Configuration
Datastores View
After datastores are created on storage array virtual disks, you can use the
Datastore
tab to understand the mapping of datastores to storage array virtual
disks. The intent of this view is to provide you with a quick status and view of
the datastores and their underlying storage virtual disks.
Use this view to identify the storage array where the datastore resides and the
associated storage array virtual disk. You can view the health status of the
virtual disk, the associated host and host group, RAID level, capacity and
datastore free space. This view also displays the details of the datastore, such
as the extent, LUN number, and health status.
The Datastores view is context sensitive, so selecting a VM in the tree only
displays storage elements for the selected VM. See Figure 28.
