Reconfiguring CacheCade Virtual Disks
In operating system management applications, the resizing of CacheCade
virtual disks occurs without stopping any existing I/Os. Creating a new
CacheCade virtual disk or adding one or more SSDs to an existing
CacheCade virtual disk increases the total cache size. The new resources are
immediately used after the addition.
