Configure RMcache for the storage pool

RMcache uses RAM that is allocated for caching. The size is limited to the amount of allocated RAM. By default, RMcache caching is disabled.

Prerequisites

RMcache must also be enabled for each SDS in the storage pool.

About this task

RMcache caching only begins once storage devices have been added to the SDSs. It is possible to enable RMcache for a storage pool and then disable caching on one or more SDSs individually.

NOTE:Only I/Os that are multiples of 4K bytes can be cached.

Steps

  1. On the menu bar, click Block > Storage Pools.
  2. In the list of storage pools, select the check box of the relevant storage pool, and click Modify > Cache.
  3. In the Storage Pool Cache Settings dialog box, select Enable Read RMcache.
  4. Click Apply.
