Growing a cache area

You can grow a cache area by adding SSDs to it.

Note:

You cannot perform this operation in case of VMware environment with vMotion. To grow a cache area in VMware environment, you must delete the created cache area, and then using the vDMP client increase the size of the SmartDisk attached. After you increase the SmartDisk size, you must create a cache area with the desired size.

To grow a cache area

  1. Expand the Cache node in the tree view. Right-click the cache area to be grown and select Grow Cache Area from the context menu.
  2. The Grow Cache Area wizard appears. On the Welcome panel, click Next.
  3. On the SSD Selection panel, select the cache area to be grown. The SSDs that can be added to the cache area are displayed in the Available disks list. Select the SSDs to be added to the cache area. Click Next.
  4. On the Summary panel, review the summary report and click Finish.
