Clearing the RiOS data store
The appliance continues to write data references to the RiOS data store until it reaches capacity. In certain situations, you must clear the RiOS data store. For example, you must clear the RiOS data store:
• after enabling or disabling encryption, or changing the encryption type.
• before downgrading to an earlier software version.
• to redeploy an active-active synchronization pair.
• after testing or evaluating the appliance.
• after receiving a “data store corruption” or “data store clean required” alarm message.
After clearing the RiOS data store and restarting the optimization service or rebooting the appliance, the data transfers are cold. Performance improves with subsequent warm data transfers over the WAN.
