The - in the DISK column is a placeholder for a disk in a deported disk group, from that hosts standpoint. Notice each diskgroup name is within parenthesis, indicating a deported diskgroup.
Try vxdctl license. Notice the "Hardware assisted copy". That means VM can issue a copy command (a plex resync, a snapshot, a data migration task, for example) understood by the intelligence built into the array which will eliminate the need to read the data into the host and write it back out to the host. The copy is performed with the array and doesn't involve the SAN.
