Re: Solved: Exacheck reports "FAIL Storage Server Check Exadata Smart Flash Cache should be actually used"

Thank you! I checked our datafiles. They are all in the DATA diskgroup:

SQL> select name from v$asm_diskgroup;

NAME

Database log mode              Archive Mode
Automatic archival             Enabled
Archive destination            +RECO

SQL> select distinct substr(name,1,20) from v$datafile;

SUBSTR(NAME,1,20)

It's possible that at some point in time, we temporarily created a datafile in the RECO disk group. But I don't think that could have caused our problem. There may be other cases where the default caching policy is 'none' instead of 'default'. But thanks for pointing out this Oracle note.

Yong, Oracle released a similar note today: Oracle Data Files should not be placed on the +RECO ASM diskgroup (Doc ID 2074156.1)

If you upgrade from ESS less than 11.2.3.2.0 the cachingPolicy for RECO diskgroup will be changed from default to none but should be kept default for DATA.
