Viewing operational status
The operational status of the cache refers to the health of the cache on a host, virtual machine, or disk. The factors that determine cache health depend on the resource: for a VM, whether caching is enabled, whether cache space has been allocated, and so forth. A green status icon for a host, virtual machine, or disk always indicates operational health.
You can also view the operational status for a VM or disk on its details page. The Operational State field indicates the health of the cache for the VM or disk:
From the detail for a virtual machine, you can navigate to the detail for the disks set up on the virtual machine.
From the home page or VM directory, click the Info button for a virtual machine to display a summary of its details.
From the home page, click the Info button for a disk to display its details.
Note: It's important to understand the difference between the operational status of the cache and the cache state. The cache state refers to just one factor in determining operational status: whether caching is enabled for a VM or disk. The cache state for a VM and disk may be enabled, for example, but caching still may not be available because the cache space has not been allocated or formatted.
