FlexCache supports inter-cluster caching using what mechanism?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Requires SnapMirror
• D. Not supported

Answer: (A)

Inter-cluster caching with FlexCache relies on SnapMirror replication between the clusters to populate and keep the remote cache up to date. When a client requests data that isn’t in the remote cache, the remote cluster fetches it from the source cluster, caches it locally, and serves future requests from the cache. Writes stay on the primary cluster, while the remote cache is kept consistent through the SnapMirror relationship. So the mechanism that enables this caching across clusters is SnapMirror.
