Description

Write cache set to RAM with Failover (to  hard drive)  fails and is writing to the PVS server.

BDM partition used to boot.
 

Resolution

  1. With the vDisk in Private Mode, Change the settings for the Windows page file.
  2. It must be set to go to the drive letter for the Write Cache Drive.
  3. Promote the new version to production.

 

Problem Cause

Pagefile was set to go to the C: Drive, BNI stack goes to the next available drive to write the page file. In this case the next available drive was the BDM partition (8MB) so it would failover to server.
