Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller 11 User’s Guide PERC H755, H750, H355, and H350 Controller Series
Preserved Cache State
The controller preserves the dirty cache from a virtual disk if the virtual disk goes offline or is deleted because of missing physical disks. This preserved dirty cache is called
pinned cache and is preserved until you import the virtual disk or discard the cache.
- Import the virtual disk—Power off the system, re-insert the virtual disk and restore the system power. Use the HII Configuration Utility to import the foreign configuration.
- Discard the preserved cache—See Clear the cache memory.
NOTE:It is recommended to clear the preserved cache before reboot using any of the virtual disks present on the controller.
