Cache is not online after a reboot

Generally, the SmartIO cache is automatically brought online after a reboot of the system.

If the SSD driver module is not loaded automatically after the reboot, you need to load the driver and bring the cache disk group online manually.

To bring a cache online after a reboot

  1. Load the SSD driver module with the insmod command.

    See the Linux documentation for details.

  2. Perform a scan of the OS devices:
    # vxdisk scandisks
  3. Bring the cache online manually:
    # vxdg import cachedg
