The correct sequence of actions that take place on a Write Miss is as follows:

• Host sends requests to FE director and no cache slots are found.This happens when the cache is full or the desired cache slot is locked by another request1.
• FE finds available slot by polling.This involves the FE director scanning the cache for an available slot or waiting for a slot to be freed by the BE director2.
• FE sends data from host to mirrored cache locations.This involves the FE director writing the data from the host to two mirrored locations in the cache, one on each engine2.
• FE responds to host to acknowledge successful write.This involves the FE director sending a signal to the host that the write operation is completed, even though the data is not yet written to disk2.
• BE destages data as a high-priority task to make slots available.This involves the BE director flushing some of the existing write pending data from the cache to the disk, in order to free up some cache slots for new write requests2.
• BE destages new data to disk at a later time.This involves the BE director writing the new data from the cache to the disk, according to the destaging algorithm and priority2.

The two factors that define Capacity Management are I/O capacity and storage capacity. I/O capacity refers to the ability of the system to handle the incoming and outgoing data traffic from the hosts or applications. Storage capacity refers to the amount of disk space available to store the data. Capacity Management is the process of planning, monitoring, and optimizing the use of these resources to ensure optimal performance, availability, and efficiency of the system.

The symstar halt command is used to write disable devices and synchronize SRDF data to remote sites in an SRDF/Star configuration. This command ensures that all sites have a consistent copy of data before switching the workload site from one site to another. Therefore, the symstar halt command should be used before the workload switch in case of a disaster at the workload site of an SRDF/Star configuration1
