H.7 Locking the Cache Setting
You can prevent host systems from using SCSI mode-select commands
to change the EF2800 system’s write-back cache setting. Some
operating systems disable write cache. If cache lock is enabled, the host
cannot modify the cache setting. The default setting is disabled.
This option is useful in some environments where the host system
disables the SM module’s write-back cache, resulting in degraded
performance. A change to this setting on either SM module is
automatically updated on the other SM module.
To lock the cache setting:
1. From the System Menu, select Configuration Menu and press
<Enter>. The Configuration Menu displays.
2. Select Option Configuration and press <Enter>. The Option
Configuration screen displays
(Figure 169).
3. Select Cache Lock and press <Enter>. The Cache Lock screen
displays
(Figure 170). The current setting is marked with an * next
to it.
4. Select the option you want and press <Enter>.
