Configuring the MaxIQ Cache

The MaxIQ cache uses the Adaptec MaxIQ Solid State Disks (SSDs) in your system as a global read cache pool. You can configure the MaxIQ cache only if you have one or more Adaptec MaxIQ Solid State Disks installed on the RAID controllers in your system. (Non-Adaptec SSDs cannot be used for the MaxIQ cache.) The MaxIQ cache works in conjunction with regular read caching in Adaptec Storage Manager. It uses the SSDs as additional cache memory for read-intensive operations.

Note! Before you can enable the MaxIQ cache for a logical device, you must enable regular read caching and assign at least one SSD to the MaxIQ pool.
