View storage information of a host

You can view the Virtual Disks, Controllers, Enclosures, and associated Physical Disks with the Global Hot Spares, and Dedicated Hot Spare. To view more information about each of the storage components, from the View drop-down menu, select the specific component.

NOTE When the hosts are managed by using unified IP, if you click Storage, and then select the following from the View drop-down menu:

Physical Disks—The media type for hard drive is displayed as Magnetic Drive instead of Hard Disk Drive.

Table 2. Storage details for a single hostThe following table provides information about virtual drives, hard drives, controllers, and enclosures:

Capacity—displays the capacity of the virtual drive. Layout—displays the layout type of the virtual storage, which means the type of RAID that was configured for this virtual drive. NOTE The ESXi does not support software RAID. If the system has software RAID, it shows incorrect disks. Media Type—displays either Solid-State Drive or Hard Disk Drive. To view information such as Stripe Size, Bus Protocol, and Cache Policy, select a virtual disk. Stripe Size—displays the stripe size, which is the amount of space that each stripe consumes on a single disk. Default Read Policy—displays the default read policy that is supported by the controller. The options include: Read-Ahead No-Read-Ahead Adaptive Read-Ahead Read Cache Enabled Read Cache Disabled Default Write Policy—displays the default write policy that is supported by the controller.
