RAID controller virtual disk settings and optimal policies regarding each type of disk.
For SSDs in use by a RAID controller
1. Create the Virtual Disk as a RAID0 device.
2. Disable the PD Cache for the HDD
3. Set the VD Caching attributes as NRWTD (No Read Ahead, Write Through,
Direct).
Note:
For VxFlex Ready Node based install, refer to the VxFlex Ready Node
documentation. The virtual disk configuration guidelines are different for
external caching solutions such as DAS Cache.
