Checking status

You can check the status of the Persistent Write Log (PWL) cache. The cache is used when an exclusive lock is acquired, and when the exclusive-lock is released, the persistent write log cache is closed. The cache status shows information about the cache size, location, type, and other cache-related information. Updates to the cache status are done when the cache is opened and closed.

Prerequisites

A running IBM Storage Ceph cluster.
Root-level access to the monitor node.
A running process with PWL cache enabled.

Procedure

View the PWL cache status:
