container release_cache
To release the cache buffers associated with a specific array, use the
container release_cache command. When a disk fails or you
remove a disk, the cache buffers associated with specific arrays
remain locked on the controller. This allows the opportunity for the
disk to come back online or gives you the opportunity to replace the
disk. In this case the arrays regain the previously locked buffers.
On the other hand, you may want to return these cache buffers to
the global buffer pool. This command allows you to disassociate the
cache buffers associated with specific arrays and release these cache
buffers to the global pool.
Syntax

Parameters

want to release cache buffers.
