Example 2
Example 2 is to create two UDVs in one VG. One UDV shares global cache
volume, the other uses dedicated cache volume. First, dedicated cache volume
should be created; it can be used in creating UDV. The last, delete them.
Each UDV is associated with one specific CV (cache volume) to execute the data
transaction. Each CV could have different cache memory size. If there is no
special request in UDVs, it uses global cache volume. Or user can create a
dedicated cache for indivifual UDV manually. Using dedicated cache volume, the
performance would not be affected by the other UDV’s data access.
The total cache size depends on the RAM size and set all to global cache
automatically. To create a dedicated cache volume, first step is to cut down
global cache size for the dedicated cache volume. Please follow the procedures.
