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 you with 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, the 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, Figure 43 is context sensitive, so selecting a VM in the tree only displays storage
elements for the selected VM.

Storage Array Event Log
The vCenter Plug-in allows you to view the Event Log for a storage array, as shown in Figure 53. To access
the event log, click View Event Log in the storage array Summary window. You can set filters in the Event
Log to show either critical events or all events. You can view the details for a selected event. By default, the
Event Log retrieves the most recent 100 events, but from the Retrieve the most recent events drop-down list,
you can specify the number of events for the Event Log to retrieve.
NOTE: The event log might contain some duplicate entries.
