-cp
or
cachepolicy
d, c Sets the cache policy for the virtual disk. The valid
arguments are:
d — (Direct I/O) Reads are not buffered in cache
memory.
c — (Cache I/O) All reads are buffered in cache
memory.
NOTE: This option is not supported on the following
controllers: CERC SATA 1.5/6 CH, CERC SATA 1.5/2S,
and PERC 3/Di.
NOTE: The PERC 4/IM controller has a fixed set of read,
write, and cache policies. If you set any of these policies
while creating a virtual disk, your settings will be ignored.
The -cp option is optional and can be added to
the command line in any order after the
mandatory option combination.
For SCSI controllers, the value of lun should always
be 0.
For SAS controllers, the value of enclosure can be
non-zero, in which case you need to specify values for
channel, target, and enclosure.
