  • Deciding whether to use the FlexCache Volumes for Faster Data Access Power Guide
    This guide describes how to configure and manage FlexCache volumes for accelerating data access.
  • Using FlexCache volumes to accelerate data access
    A FlexCache volume is a sparsely populated volume that is backed by an origin volume. The FlexCache volume can be on the same cluster as or on a different cluster than that of the origin volume. The FlexCache volume provides access to data in the origin volume without requiring that all of the data be in the FlexCache volume.
  • FlexCache volume creation workflow
    You must first install the FlexCache license from ThinkSystem Storage Manager for DM Series. You can then create a FlexCache volume in the same cluster or in a remote cluster by using the CLI.
  • Managing a FlexCache relationship
    If the origin volume and the FlexCache volume are in the disconnected mode, you might need to perform some additional operations to update a FlexCache relationship manually.
  • Where to find additional information
    There are other reference manuals to help you configure FlexCache volumes.
  • Contacting Support
    You can contact Support to obtain help for your issue.
