The “System cache policy” section contains a series of fields and text
boxes as follows:
boxes as follows:
Cache block size (KB)
This field reflects the size of a unit block in the cache module. It
cannot be modified from here.

Total cache size (MB)
This field indicates how much of the SuperTrak66 EDO memory is
being used for R/W caching plus RAID XOR data space.
NOTE: Not all installed memory is available. A portion of cache
memory is used to house I

Promise driver.
RW cache size (MB)
This field indicates how much of the SuperTrak66 EDO memory is
being used for R/W caching only.

Flush frequency timer (sec)
This field shows how long (in seconds) a block of “dirty” data can
remain in memory without being flushed. This field affects the
cache configurations of any array attached to this IOP.
This field shows how long (in seconds) a block of “dirty” data can
remain in memory without being flushed. This field affects the
cache configurations of any array attached to this IOP.
Dirty threshold flush start
This field indicates the flush start threshold percentage of dirty
blocks. When the percentage of dirty blocks residing in memory
exceeds the threshold, flushing will begin automatically. This field
affects the cache configurations of any array attached to this IOP.
This field indicates the flush start threshold percentage of dirty
blocks. When the percentage of dirty blocks residing in memory
exceeds the threshold, flushing will begin automatically. This field
affects the cache configurations of any array attached to this IOP.
Dirty threshold flush stop
This field shows the flush stop threshold percentage of dirty blocks.
When the percentage of dirty blocks residing in memory falls
below the threshold, flushing will stop automatically. This field
affects the cache configurations of any array attached to this IOP.
This field shows the flush stop threshold percentage of dirty blocks.
When the percentage of dirty blocks residing in memory falls
below the threshold, flushing will stop automatically. This field
affects the cache configurations of any array attached to this IOP.
