Enabling Fluid Cache On Virtual Disks

Caching can be enabled at the virtual disk level only if the virtual disk does not have any partitions. If the virtual disk has partitions, the caching can be enabled at the partition level. For more information, see Enabling Fluid Cache On Virtual Disk Partitions.

To enable Fluid Cache on a virtual disk:

  1. On the left-hand side of the Storage Management page, click Storage > < Controller Name > > Connector > Virtual Disks

    The Virtual Disk on < Controller Name > page is displayed with the list of virtual disks for the controller.
  2. From the Tasks drop-down list corresponding the virtual disk for which you want to enable the cache, select Enable Fluid Cache.

  3. Click Execute.

  4. Select the Write cache mode. The available options are:

    • Write Through
    • Write Back
  5. Click Apply for enabling the cache.

    After the caching is enabled, a Fluid Cache disk is created that can be viewed on the Fluid Cache Disks page.
