Issue:
Write cache disabled on ML110 G1, ML110 G2, DL100, and DL100 G2
Description
The Adaptec 2410SA a nd Adaptec 2610SA controllers contain cache memory
that may be used for read ahead or write back. Enabling the write back cache
improves performance by allowing the operating system to assume the write made
it to disk
when in fact the write only made it to the onboard memory. While this
does improve performance substantially, data loss can occur on writes that make
it to
memory but not to disk in the event of a power failure to the unit.
Workar
ound
HP reco
mmends that an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) be used with the unit
for ca
che enablement to ensure that data loss d oes not occur. Cache memor y
may be
adjusted via the Adaptec Stora g e Manager utility or via the ROM based
setup. By default, the Adaptec Storage Manager sets the write cache to enabled
on
newly created logical disks via the tool. The setting should be reviewed and
set a
ppropriately if a new logical device is created by the user.
