    <title>topic VA7400 cache in Disk Enclosures</title>
    <link>https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/va7400-cache/m-p/3818773#M20878</link>
    <description>Hello:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;    My VA7400 has 512 Mb of cache in both controllers. We see all the disks through the same controller so I have some doubts about if the cache of the other controller is being used. Armperf shows that 45056 kb are allocated to read and 180224 kb are allocated to write. &lt;BR /&gt;First question, I know there should be some overhead due to maps and things like that but in this case we will only use a 25% memory to cache IO access.  Are we really using the memory of both controllers?&lt;BR /&gt;Second question, write cache is mirrored so which is the actual size of the mirror cache 90000Kb?&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;If anyone with an VA7400 with 1Gb of memory and using both controllers would post an armperf here it would be very helpful.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Regards&lt;BR /&gt;</description>
