Host Access

The host access to a virtual disk through each DataCore Server is reported in the Info tab of the Virtual Disk Details page.

Possible host access states:

o           Not allowed – access to the host is purposely being prevented.

o           Unknown – The server is stopped and access cannot be determined.

o           Disabled – the storage source is disabled and no I/O is allowed. Paths are not visible to the host. (When both storage sources of a mirrored virtual disk are disabled, the virtual disk will have a status of off-line, see below.)

o           Offline – the storage source is offline and no reads or writes are allowed, but the path is visible to the host. When both storage sources of a mirrored virtual disk are offline, the virtual disk will have a status of off-line.

o           Read Only – the host can read from the storage source, but cannot write to it.

o           Read/Write – the host can read and write to the virtual disk through this server. In cases where the local storage source is unavailable in a mirrored virtual disk, the mirror path will be used to write to the up-to-date storage source.
