HPE Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 - Cache with 2 SSD - Unkown Status Message

[Daniel2604]

Hello,

i have a proliant ML350 Gen 10 Server. I use 2 SSD Disk for Caching the two RAID Arrays.

My Question is about 3 Status Messages:

1) Cache for Device 1 cannot be deleted, because it is not last created Smart Cache Array

2) Logical Disk, (with Cache) cannot be deleted, because the dedicated Smart Cache is not last created Smart Cache in Smart Cache Array.

3) ... some operations ... are not available until HPE Smart Cache activated.

Are these Messages normal?

Thanks for your answers
