2. Click Create to open the Create FAST Cache dialog box, shown in
Figure 45.
The RAID Type field is displayed as RAID 1 when the FAST Cache has been
created. The number of flash drives can also be chosen in the screen. The
bottom portion of the screen shows the flash drives that will be used for
creating FAST Cache. You can choose the drives manually by selecting
the Manual option.
3. See Storage configuration guidelines to determine the number of
flash drives to use in this solution.
Note: If a sufficient number of flash drives is not available, an error
message appears and FAST Cache cannot be created.

4. Enable FAST Cache on the storage pool.
If a LUN is created in a storage pool, you can only configure FAST Cache
for that LUN at the storage pool level. In other words, all the LUNs created
in the storage pool will have FAST Cache enabled or disabled. You can
configure them under the Advanced tab in the Create Storage Pool dialog
box shown in Figure 46. After installing FAST Cache into the VNX array, it is
enabled as a default setting when you create the storage pool.
