Changing Unit Caching Parameters
This section explains how to change cache parameters.
Note:
If caching is enabled, you must disable it before you can change any
parameter. Disabling caching can affect storage system performance; do it
only when system activity is relatively low.
To change the caching parameter for a physical disk unit, follow these steps:
1.
Run raid5 getcache to determine if caching is enabled. If it is enabled,
make sure both SPs are powered on; run raid5 getcrus to find out.
2.
If caching is enabled, disable it with
raid5 -d
device
setcache 0
3.
Wait for the cache memory to be written to disk, which may take
several minutes. Use raid5 getcache to check cache state (“Disabled”).
4.
Follow instructions in “Setting Cache Parameters,” earlier in this
chapter.
