4.Fill in the size and click ““.

5.Done. A new dedicated cache volume has been set.

Tips

The minimum size of global cache volume is 40MB. The minimum size of dedicated cache volume is 20MB.

Step 2: Create VG (Volume Group).

Please refer to Step 1 of Example 1 to create VG.

Step 3: Create UDV (User Data Volume).

Please refer to Step 2 of Example 1 to create UDV. To create a user data volume with dedicated cache volume, please follow the below procedures.

Figure 3.6.7.10

1.Select “/ Volume config / User data volume”.

2.Click “”.

3.Input a UDV name, choose a VG Name, select Dedicated cache which

is created at Step 1, and input the size for the UDV; decide the stripe height, block size, read/write mode and set priority, finally click

““.

4.Done. A UDV using dedicated cache has been created.
