Parameter

Description

values, the drawer ID values, and the slot ID values in
parentheses.

updateExistingVirtualDisks

This optional parameter specifies whether the SSD cache
should be enabled for all existing virtual disks in the
storage array. To enable the SSD cache for all existing
virtual disks, set this parameter to TRUE. If you want to
enable the SSD cache for individual virtual disks later, set
this parameter to FALSE. The default value is TRUE.

Notes

A storage array can have only one SSD cache.
Only virtual disks created using hard disk physical disks can use the SSD cache. You cannot enable SSD cache on
snapshot (legacy) virtual disks or snapshot images.
SSDs do not currently support self encrypting disk (SED). Therefore, virtual disks that have SED enabled cannot use the
SSD cache.
If all of the SSDs in the SSD cache are data assurance (DA)-capable and the DA premium feature is enabled, DA is
automatically enabled for the SSD cache and cannot be disabled. In addition, you cannot add non-DA capable SSDs to a
DA-enabled SSD cache.
