Cache Without Battery Enabled
Write caching without batteries enables write caching to continue if the RAID controller module batteries
are completely discharged, not fully charged, or not present. If you set this parameter to TRUE without an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or other backup power source, you can lose data if the power to the
storage array fails. This parameter has no effect if write caching is disabled.

Modification Priority

Modification priority defines the amount of system resources that are used when modifying virtual disk
properties. If you select the highest priority level, the virtual disk modification uses the most system
resources, which decreases the performance for host data transfers.
