From this view, the user can also verify that the correct number of paths have been configured. By right- clicking on
one of the devices listed under the storage adapter and selecting Manage Paths, a window opens that shows the
number of paths for the target device. There should be four paths to each device, two Active and two Standby.

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. health status.
