Adding a new system cache allows you to store more Internet objects on your proxy server.
It increase the cache rate and the Internet bandwidth because objects will be downloaded trough the proxy box instead the Internet bandwidth.
Note: Adding a new cache is allowed only with a Corporate License.
On a virtual machine, adding a system cache on the system partition is not the right way, you will have better performances by adding a new disk and a SCSI controller linked to this new disk.
Adding a new DISK on ESXI.
- Trough your VMware manager, create a new Hard disk
- Set it the size with a minimal of 30GB
- On the Advanced options, take care about the Virtual Device Node.
- By default the wizard want to add the new disk on the SCSI 0:1, use a new one using the new first number ( 1:0, 2:0…)
In our case, we add a new disk of 30GB size on the SCSI 1:0
- You will see that a new controller is installed on your Virtual Machine.
