FlashCache and GridDisk Management Guide

This action plan outlines steps to configure flash cache on a grid infrastructure in writeback mode. It involves: 1) Checking griddisk and flashcache states before modifying flash cache. 2) Dropping the existing flash cache, setting the mode to writeback, and recreating the cache. 3) Validating griddisk caching policies and the states of griddisks and cells after configuring writeback mode.

=== Action Plan ===

1) Perform the following checks as root from one of the compute nodes:

Check all grdidksk asmdeactivationoutcome and asmmodestatus to ensure that all


griddisks on all cells are “Yes” and “ONLINE” respectively.

# dcli -g cell_group -l root cellcli -e list griddisk attributes


asmdeactivationoutcome, asmmodestatus

Check that all of the flashcache are in the “normal” state and that no flash disks
are in a degraded or critical state:
# dcli -g cell_group -l root cellcli -e list flashcache detail

Validate all the Physical Disks are in NORMAL state before modifying FlashCache.
The following command should return no rows.
# dcli –l root –g cell_group cellcli –e “list physicaldisk attributes name,status”|
grep -v normal

2) Perform following as root from one of the compute nodes:

a) Drop the flash cache

# dcli –l root –g cell_group cellcli -e drop flashcache

b) Set flashCacheMode attribute to writeback

# dcli –l root – g cell_group cellcli -e "alter cell flashCacheMode=writeback"

c) Re-create the flash cache

# dcli –l root –g cell_group cellcli -e create flashcache all

d) Check attribute flashCacheMode is WriteBack:

# dcli –l root –g cell_group cellcli -e list cell detail | grep flashCacheMode

3) From one of the compute nodes:

a) Validate griddisk attributes cachingPolicy and cachedby for each cell:

# dcli –l root –g cell_group cellcli –e list griddisk attributes


name,cachingpolicy,cachedby

b) For each cell, check all grdidksk asmdeactivationoutcome and asmmodestatus to


ensure that all griddisks on all cells are “Yes” and “ONLINE” respectively.

# dcli –l root –g cell_group cellcli -e list griddisk attributes


asmdeactivationoutcome, asmmodestatus
