Bug 34715158 - Cache Vote Disk IOs in Exadata Flash Cache (Doc ID 34715158.8)

And this one, we had in the previous release. We thought Bug 34715158 wasn't fixed with patching, but we ended up discovering Bug 36925947...

All in all, it was a looong journey.

Proxy reads would allow block reads that would have gone to hard disk to be able to be read from a partner cell's FlashCache instead.

As part of the same investigation, bug 36983794 was investigated too:

Bug 36983794 "PROXYREAD FAILED TO KICK IN UPON FLASHDISK FAILURE":

"Updated proxy read enabling to kick in when we go from
BAD_HEALTH -> GOOD_HEALTH regardless of reason."

It is fixed in 25.1.0.0.0EXARU and above.

I see we had an exchange on that Twitter feed as well :) For me the issue this time was indeed related to FlashCache warm-up after FD replacement... Although Storage Cell should be re-integrated in the Storage Grid after warm-up has completed, something seemed way off with the gauging mechanism.
