Notes:

a. If you are running a two-way fast-write operation, and you enable or disable the

fast-write function, the hdisk on the second using system becomes unavailable.
From the second using system, delete that hdisk, and reconfigure as follows:

1) Type:

rmdev -l hdiskname -d

2) Run cfgmgr to reconfigure the new hdisk.

b. The fast-write function is disabled only if no data for your selected devices is

present in the fast-write cache. If data for your selected devices is present in the
fast-write cache, and you want to disable the fast-write function, go to step 3.

3. If data for your selected devices is present in the fast-write cache, and you want to

disable the fast-write function, set the Enable Fast Write option to no, and the
Force Delete option to yes. The Force Delete screen is displayed:

Enable/Disable Fast Write for Multiple Devices

Force Delete

|

|

|

|

|

|

Setting Force Delete to ’yes’ will allow the system to disable

|

|

Fast-Write for this SSA Logical Disk even if this involves

|

|

discarding data in an inaccessible Fast-Write Cache card.

|

|

|

|

The data in the Fast-Write Cache card is the most recent copy

|

|

of some portions of the data on the SSA Logical Disk.

|

|

Discarding this data may destroy the integrity of the data on

|

|

the disk, resulting in system crashes, data corruption and

|

|

loss of system integrity.

|

|

It is suggested that you try selecting no for this option first

|

|

Force Delete is applicable only if you are setting

|

|

Enable Fast-Write to ’no’

|
