Figure 49 Controller Properties Dialog Box: General: Status Tab
The Status Tab displays the Name, Status, and Mode of the controller. It also displays whether Conservative cache
is active or not and the reason. If the controller is not in conservative cache mode, the Reason field is greyed out.
Conservative cache mode is an operating mode in which logical devices, or system drives, configured with the

cache is flushed.
