Re: Flash cache - Image/LSFS - Sizing

Your Example is to vague, start by thinking about the data, and how the data is used. Then think about the contention on the physical storage itself, as in how many LUNs are you planning? How busy do you think each of the LUNs is? (the more LUNs/busy the larger the cache you need per LUN, to help hi...

Re: Cache

Thanks for the replies and status updates.

If you look a few post up, I did try a separate target and device, I understand best practice maybe to have 1 for 1, for my problem though it doesn't seem to matter it produces the same results, both ways, and oddly at a 2727MB boundary.
