Supported/Eligible Virtual Drives
DAS or SAN accessed storage can be accelerated with the Nytro XD solution. Nytro XD also implements the write-through operations. This means that the cache content is always coherent with the storage that Nytro XD is accelerating.
A configuration with multiple servers accessing the SAN storage is supported in these circumstances: when high availability is a requirement, a primary and secondary server might access the same partition, but not concurrently. If the primary server fails over to a secondary server, data located in the SAN accessed storage is always valid, because of write-through, and the application can begin operation on the secondary server. To meet the service level expectations, let the secondary server also use a Nytro XD solution.If a failover occurs, the Nytro XD cache in the failed primary server is not coherent with the SAN storage. When fail back is implemented, you must first restart Nytro XD using the MSM tool to ensure cache coherency.
