NOTE: Disks inserted into a CacheCade hot slot must be equal to or greater than the smallest

contributing disk in the virtual disk.

Manual Resizing Of CacheCade Virtual Disks

In operating system management applications, a manual resizing of a CacheCade virtual disk occurs due

to the addition or removal of drives. Reboot is not necessary.

• Any number of SSDs can be added to a CacheCade virtual disk.

• There is no SAS and SATA mixing allowed within a CacheCade virtual disk, so SATA SSDs cannot be

added to a SAS CacheCade virtual disk and vice versa.

• HDDs cannot be added to a CacheCade virtual disk.

NOTE: Capacity of drives added to a CacheCade volume must be equal to or greater than the

smallest contributing drive in the virtual disk. The manual resizing of a CacheCade virtual disk

cannot be initiated in the BIOS Configuration Utility. It can only be initiated in the OpenManage

storage management application.
