10.3.1.1 Exadata Smart Flash Cache Persistent After Cell Restart

Exadata Smart Flash Cache is persistent through power outages, shutdown operations, cell restarts, and so on. Data in flash cache is not repopulated by reading from the disk after a cell restarts. Write operations from the server go directly to flash cache. This reduces the number of I/O operations on the disks. The caching of data on the flash disks is set by the administrator.
