The name of a VSM storage element.Name
The status of the VSM storage element.Status
Yes indicates that the virtual disk is defined as a cluster resource. This setting tunes
the SVSP system behavior when the virtual disk is permitted to multiple hosts
(configured as a resource in a cluster application). For a description of configuring
virtual disks for cluster applications, see “Defining virtual disks as
clustered” on page 121.
Clustered
Yes indicates that the selected DPM is currently active in presenting the VSM storage
element to the permitted host. No indicates that the DPM is currently passive. There
is probably another DPM supporting this configuration that is the active DPM for
the storage element.
Active
Indicates whether the DPM is the primary DPM for the VSM storage element. The
primary DPM for the VSM storage element is the preferred DPM through which a
permitted DPM host accesses the VSM storage element. In case of failure or
manual switchover, the secondary DPM, if there is one, takes over.
Primary
DPM information—Personalities tab
The Personalities tab displays the SCSI personalities supported by the selected DPM. The personality
is defined per host and selected according to the multipath software running on the host, which
depends on the host operating system. For a full list of host operating systems and their supported
personalities, see Table 57 on page 144.
