Creating A CacheCade

To create a CacheCade:

1. In the CacheCade(s) page, click Create CacheCade.

The Create CacheCade page is displayed.

2. In the CacheCade Group section, select SATA SSD or SAS SSD if your system contains both SAS and SATA SSDs.

3. Type a name for the CacheCade. The size is calculated as follows:

CacheCade size = capacity of the smallest SSD * the number of SSDs

4. From the available free disks that are displayed, select the SSDs that you would like to include in the CacheCade. The selected

disks are displayed in the Physical Disks Selected section.

5. Click Finish.

NOTE: The procedure of selecting physical disks while creating a CacheCade is similar to the selection of disks while

creating a virtual disk.
