Disk write cache and read ahead settings
Enable or disable the disk write cache and read ahead policies for all physical drives by setting an Adapter property. The setting is applied to all slots, including empty slots.
Warning: Enabling the Disk Write Cache setting might cause data loss if the power fails.
To change the Disk Write Cache Setting, follow these instructions:
- Select Objects > Adapter and press <Enter>.
- On the Adapter menu, use the arrow key to select Set Write Cache and press <Enter>. The Write Cache dialog box displays.
- On the Write Cache menu, select Enable or Disable.
- At the prompt, Change Write Cache Setting, use the arrow key to select On or Off, then press <Enter>.
To change the Read Ahead Setting, substitute Read Ahead for Disk Write Cache.
- Reboot the system for the changes to the write and read policies to take effect.
| Note |
Version 5.28 and earlier offer the read-ahead and write-cache policy settings as part of each physical drive property. (Go to Objects > Physical Drive, select the applicable drive.) | |
