HP XP Array Manager Software - Manual (Page 29)

Description Item
Allows you to request Cache Residency operations for more
than one LDEV. If you check this box and then click Set or
Release, the Multi Set or Multi Release dialog box opens
to allow you to set data into or release data from Cache
Residency cache for more than one LDEV.
The Multi Set / Release checkbox does not allow you to
select and cancel an individual Cache Residency data area
specified for an LDEV. You must perform a Release
operation to cancel an individual data area.
When the checkbox is enabled, the operation can be
applied to the multiple LDEVs. On the other hand, when
the checkbox is disabled, the operation is applied to only
one LDEV
Multi Set / Release
Adds the requested set operation (place data in Cache
Residency cache) to the LDEV information table. Set is
enabled when you select a data area that is not in cache
in the LDEV table.
Set is disabled when Cache Residency operations to release
data from cache have been requested. To enable Set, either
perform the requested release operations, or cancel the
requested release operations.
Set
Adds the requested release operation (remove data from
Cache Residency cache) to the LDEV information table.
Release is enabled when you select a data area that is in
cache in the LDEV table.

set data into cache have been requested. To enable
Release, either perform the requested set operations, or
cancel the requested set operations.

to start or cancel the requested operations, including pre-staging operations and Cache Residency
operations.

If Pre-staging is selected and you click Apply, a confirmation message appears to allow you
to start the requested operations with or without pre-staging. To continue with pre-staging,
click Yes. To continue without pre-staging, click No.

If you click Cancel, a confirmation message appears to allow you to cancel the requested
operations. Click OK on the confirmation message to cancel the requested operations, or click
Cancel to keep (but not start) the requested operations.
After you have started the requested operations, you can monitor the progress of the requested
operations on the Cache Residency window (cache information area) to make sure that the
operations complete successfully
Multi Set Dialog Box

that you want to place into Cache Residency cache. The items displayed in the Multi Set dialog
box reflect the options selected in the Cache Residency window. Only volumes belonging to the
selected CLPR are displayed in the Multi Set dialog box.
