摘要:
A system and method for the implementation of an adaptive cache policy in a storage controller is disclosed in which a cache optimization utility monitors data access commands generated by one or more of the software applications of a server node. On the basis of one or more characteristics of the data access commands, the cache optimization utility can adjust the cache policy of the storage controller. In the case of a database application, the cache policy of the storage controller can be adjusted so that a first cache policy is applied with respect to data access commands directed to the data files of the database and a second cache policy is applied with respect to data access commands directed to transaction log files of the database.
