An icon representing the type of a VSM storage element exposed by the selected
DPM. Possible icons:
• —A virtual disk.
• —A virtual disk group.

Type
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

personalities, see
