This read-only integer reports whether a disk device is remote, meaning it's visible through the VMScluster rather than directly connected to this node, or is a local device. An administrator checks it to understand the physical topology behind a disk entry when troubleshooting access issues. For example, if I/O to a disk is unexpectedly slow, the admin checks sDskRemote to see whether the traffic is actually traversing the cluster interconnect to a remote node rather than hitting local storage.
