We are taking delivery of a couple flash cache cards (512Gb demo units) soon. I plan to install them in our standby 3270 cluster then present several cache enabled volumes for various benchmark us cases (Oracle, VMware, Web etc)
Qs: 1 - how easy/hard is the physical installation? Any gotchas to avoid? 2 - can I enable / disable caching on the volumes to help define the benefit flash cache is providing? 3 - how do I best monitor the flash cache metrics (I use cacti to graph "Cache Age" currently)
thanks
