Routing Status |
Datastore routing status. This field shows the status of the datastore as a
candidate for OTMA routing.
- Normal

- NormalWLB
- The data store is potentially a candidate for routing, and workload balancing is active.
- Degraded
- The data store might be a candidate for routing but only if there are no other candidates in
Normal state. This could be due to a warning-level IMS status.
- Unavailable
- The data store is not a candidate for routing. This could be due to a severe-level IMS status.
- SusCWRZero
- The data store has been suspended as a candidate for routing. Workload balancing is active and
the data store has a capacity weight rating of zero.
