Description

Change the RAM write cache policy on specified volume. If LSM_CAP_VOLUME_WRITE_CACHE_POLICY_UPDATE_IMPACT_READ is supported(e.g. HPE SmartArray), the changes on write cache policy might also impact read cache policy. If LSM_CAP_VOLUME_WRITE_CACHE_POLICY_UPDATE_WB_IMPACT_OTHER is supported(e.g. HPE SmartArray), changing write cache policy to write back mode might impact other volumes in the same system.

Capability

LSM_CAP_VOLUME_WRITE_CACHE_POLICY_UPDATE_AUTO LSM_CAP_VOLUME_WRITE_CACHE_POLICY_UPDATE_WRITE_BACK LSM_CAP_VOLUME_WRITE_CACHE_POLICY_UPDATE_WRITE_THROUGH LSM_CAP_VOLUME_WRITE_CACHE_POLICY_UPDATE_WB_IMPACT_OTHER LSM_CAP_VOLUME_WRITE_CACHE_POLICY_UPDATE_IMPACT_READ

Return

LSM_ERR_OK on success else error reason
   * LSM_ERR_OK
       On success.
   * LSM_ERR_NOT_FOUND_VOLUME
       When volume not found.
