Removing Physical Disks From Existing SSD Cache
To remove
physical disks from existing SSD Cache:
set ssdCache [
ssdCacheName]
removePhysicalDisks=(
enclosureID1,drawerID1,slotID1 ... enclosureIDn,drawerIDn,slotIDn)
You cannot remove all physical disks from an SSD Cache, and at least one physical disk must remain. To completely remove the SSD Cache, use the delete ssdCache [ ssdCacheName] command.
