container set cache

To set cache parameters for a specific array, use the container
set cache command. You can use this command only if a native
operating system's file system—for Windows NT/Windows 2000
(basic disk only)/Windows XP (basic disk only), NTFS, or FAT—
resides on the array. In fact, the CLI prevents you from setting cache
parameters if the array:
I
Is an array involved in a reconfiguration operation
The CLI disables the cache parameters on the array involved in
a reconfiguration operation. The CLI re-enables the cache
parameters (assuming they were previously set) on the array
when the reconfiguration operation completes.
The controller provides two global cache buffer pools available to
arrays: a volatile read-ahead cache and a nonvolatile NVRAM write-
back cache. Collectively, these global caches are referred to as the
array cache.
The container set cache command allows you to set several
characteristics associated with the array cache. These characteristics
are embodied in the switches for the command.

Notes

Some controllers may not support the NVRAM write-back cache.
Additionally, some controllers may not support the ability to enable
the NVRAM write-back cache.

Syntax
