IPStor Team have three MD3000 Box from VTL team, but they are all of RAID module no battery handle Cache Memory which MD3000 will shutdown one module by this reason and effect Virtual Disk access performance.

set virtualDisk["disk1"] cacheFlushModifier=10;
set virtualDisk["disk1"] cacheWithoutBatteryEnabled=true;
set virtualDisk["disk1"] mirrorEnabled=false;
set virtualDisk["disk1"] readCacheEnabled=true;
set virtualDisk["disk1"] writeCacheEnabled=true;
set virtualDisk["disk1"] mediaScanEnabled=true;
set virtualDisk["disk1"] consistencyCheckEnabled=true;
set virtualDisk["disk1"] readAheadMultiplier=1;
set virtualDisk["disk1"] modificationPriority=high;
set virtualDisk["disk1"] preReadRedundancyCheck=false;
