2.  The Manage Shared Datastores page displays information about all the VSA-hosted data stores, including the data-store 

name, the ESXi hosts using the data store, the number of paths to the data store, and the data-store status. Select a data 
store to view additional information about it:

•  Used and free capacity

•  Target details, including the iSCSI qualified name (IQN) and the 64-bit extended unique identifier (EUI-64); ESXi uses 

the EUI-64 to generate the name it used for the device

•  Target status, including mirror status if the data store is a mirror

•  Neutral storage host, if the data store is a mirror and an NSH is being used

•  Active paths between the ESXi hosts and the target. Click
