Getting Started With the Nytro XD Solution : Adding Windows Failover Shared Storage Device into a Cache Group

Adding Windows Failover Shared Storage Device into a Cache Group

The administrators must add windows failover shared storage device into the cache group. To add a shared storage device, run the MegaCli64.exe xd addvd command, for example, MegaCli64.exe xd addvd 600605B003955970182FE9D833717D14. It is not necessary to install and configure the Nytro XD solution on all of the nodes on a shared storage device. However, the Nytro XD solution must be installed and the shared storage device must be added into the cache group on all of the cluster nodes where you want to accelerate the shared storage device performance.

For example, in a three node cluster with Node A, Node B, and Node C, to accelerate the shared storage device performance on Nodes A and B, install the Nytro XD solution on Node A and Node B, and not on Node C. On Node A and Node B, add the shared storage device into the cache group.

NOTE  The Nytro XD solution does not support Cluster Shared drives.
