Modifying destaging characteristics

Use the Setcache Resources Entry panel to directly manage the data that has already been written to the cache and NVS. This function of the SETCACHE line operator allows you to:

Once data has been written to the cache or NVS, the Resources Entry panel allows you to write the data to DASD. If this destaging process fails, the data is pinned in cache or NVS. The Resources Entry panel allows you to discard this pinned data. All the volumes attached to a storage subsystem along with the subsystem itself can be set back to their default status by reinitializing the storage subsystem.

Restriction: reinitializing a subsystem causes all duplex pairs to be lost and any fast write data in cache and NVS to be discarded.
