Figure 42. Physical Disk Path Configuration Datastores View After datastores are created on storage array virtual disks, the Datastores View tab can be used to understand the mapping of datastores to storage array virtual disks. The intent of this view is to provide 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, associated host/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. Dell MD Storage Array vCenter Plug-in | 53

Physical Disk Path Configuration
Datastores View
After datastores are created on storage array virtual disks, the
Datastores View
tab can be used to understand
the mapping of datastores to storage array virtual disks. The intent of this view is to provide 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, associated host/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.
