PDFs
The suspend ssdCache command temporarily stops caching for all of the volumes that are using the SSD cache.
Supported Arrays
This command applies to any individual storage array, including the E2700, E5600, E2800, E5700, EF600, and EF300 arrays, as long as all SMcli packages are installed.
Roles
To execute this command on an E2800, E5700, EF600, or EF300 storage array, you must have the Support Admin role.
Context
While caching is stopped, host reads are serviced from the base volumes instead of from the SSD cache.
