Start SSD Cache Performance Modeling

Description

This command starts performance modeling for the SSD cache. Performance modeling monitors and
measures I/O activity for a period of time and estimates performance for various SSD cache sizes.
Performance is estimated using two metrics: cache hit percentage and average response time. The
performance modeling data is not available until you stop the operation using the stop ssdCache
performanceModeling command.

Syntax

start ssdCache [ssdCacheName] performanceModeling

Parameter
