Hi, i've recently purchased a new Dell R720 server with a H710 perc card fitted. I only have the 512Mb cache option so I was pleasantly surprised when I inserted an SSD that I was offered the ability to enable CacheCade using it.
This seemed to work (in that I could see the files accessed were written to the cache drive as they were used - checked by pulling it) despite the fact that the docs say only the 1Gb cards support it, but I'm not going to complain... Anyway, as I'm using quite a few SSDs in this box I wondered if CTIO was also now enabled by default.
I've configured the raid array using SSDs to be "no readahead" and "write through" as per the instructions but was wondering if there was a tool I could use to query if CTIO is actually enabled/being used. If not I'll put the settings back to "write back"
Thanks
John
