Specify the write caching setting for the array. The possible
values are:
■
Enable when protected—If supported, enables the write
cache only when a battery is present and the battery's charge
status is OK.
■ Enable always—If supported, enables the write cache even
if no battery is present or the battery's charge status is not OK.
Note that setting an array's write cache property to Enable
always might result in data loss or corruption if power to the
controller is lost when no battery is present or the battery
loses its charge.
■
Disable—Disables use of the write cache.
