Lesson 1: Summary
During this lesson the following topics were covered:
• Configuration of SP management interfaces
• Setup of FC, iSCSI, and FCoE ports for block data access
Management
Lesson 2: Enabling SP Cache

During this lesson the following topics are covered:
• Describe the benefits of VNX MultiCore Cache
• Verify that Write Cache is enabled
VNX Multicore Adaptive Cache
• Data written to cache
• Data is copied to disk
• Data kept in memory
Benefits of VNX Multicore Cache
MCC Aspect Benefit
Dynamic Watermarks Monitors the I/O demand
• Measuring the rate of incoming
I/Os
• Monitoring underlying RAID
groups
Flushing and Write Throttling • Auto adjust incoming and

outgoing I/Os per RAID group
• Provides the time needed to
adjust pre-cleaning age
• Prevents 100% utilization of
Cache by write-intensive
workloads.
• Protect the array from the
monopolization of resources by
a single workload
Multicore Cache: Write Cache Option
• Write Cache enabled (default)
 Writes are acknowledged once
accepted into cache (and mirrored)
• Write Cache disabled
 Writes directly to disk
 Writes are only acknowledged when
written to disk
• Unchecking Write Cache will have
significantly negative impact on
performance
EMC recommends Write Cache always

be enabled
Management
Lesson 2: Summary
During this lesson the following topics were covered:
• Multicore Cached provides benefits of Adaptive Cache,
Dynamic Watermarks, Flushing and Write Throttling
• VNX Write Cache in enabled, by default, and provides dynamic
operations to benefit performance
Summary
Key points covered in this module:
• Unisphere wizards for Network settings can be used to configure
SP management ports
• Block data ports for iSCSI, FC, and FCoE can be managed by
navigating through Unisphere to Settings > Network > Settings
for Block
• VNX Multicore Cache in enabled by default and dynamically
adjusts to provide optimal performance
