Nytro MegaRAID Revision 1.7 Overview : Nytro MegaRAID Controller Features and Benefits : Cache Auto Assignment

Cache Auto Assignment

You can use Cache Auto Assignment to upgrade from the MegaRAID controller to the Nytro MegaRAID controller.

Assignment is a process in which the source VD gets assigned onto a cache device for caching. In this process, the metadata gets updated on source VD to persist the caching information of the source VD. If the source VDs are migrated, the new Nytro controller can read this metadata from the source VD to automatically assign a source VD to the currently configured cache volume. This avoids the user intervention in reassigning the source VD to the cache VD.

NOTE  The old configuration of cache volume would be replaced by the current cache configuration.
