Changing the Virtual Disk Cache Settings

You can specify the cache memory settings for a single virtual disk or for

multiple virtual disks in a storage array.
Guidelines to change cache settings for a virtual disk:

• After opening the Change Cache Settings dialog, the system may display a

window indicating that the RAID controller module has temporarily

suspended caching operations. This action may occur when a new battery

is charging, when a RAID controller module is removed, or if a mismatch

in cache sizes is detected by the RAID controller module. After the

condition is cleared, the cache properties selected in the dialog become

active. If the selected cache properties do not become active, contact your

Technical Support representative.

• If you select more than one virtual disk, the cache settings default to no

settings selected. The current cache settings are displayed only if you select

a single virtual disk.

• If you change the cache settings by using this option, the priority of all of

the virtual disks that you selected is modified.

To change the virtual disk cache settings:

1 In the AMW, select the Logical tab and select a virtual disk.
2 In the toolbar, select Virtual DiskChangeCache Settings.

The Change Cache Settings window is displayed.

3 Select one or more virtual disks.
