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
