Parameters

Name Type In Required Description

uuid

string

path

True

Unique identifier of the origin of the FlexCache volume.

Request Body

Name Type Description

_links

_links

block_level_invalidation

boolean

Block level invalidation enables the FlexCache volume to retain blocks that are not changed at the FlexCache volume without having to evict them. This means that the FlexCache volume does not have to again incur the cost of fetching blocks over the WAN from the FlexCache volume origin on the next client access. Block level invalidation is a property of the origin volume. Without block level invalidation, any write at the origin volume would evict the whole file at the FlexCache volume, since by default, origin volume does a file level invalidation.

flexcaches

array[flexcache_relationship]

global_file_locking_enabled

boolean

Specifies whether a global file locking option is enabled for an origin volume of a FlexCache volume.

name

string

Origin volume name

uuid

string

Origin volume UUID. Unique identifier for origin of FlexCache.
