What happens to write operations on a FlexCache volume?

• A. Writes are temporarily stored in the cache until a scheduled sync occurs.
• B. Writes are not permitted on FlexCache volumes.
• C. Writes are replicated to all caches locally.
• D. Writes are sent directly to the origin volume for processing.

Answer: (D)

FlexCache serves as a fast read cache for an origin volume. The cache is not the authoritative place for writes; when a write is issued to a FlexCache volume, that write is sent to the origin volume for processing. This keeps data consistent across all caches and the origin, so subsequent reads reflect the updated data after the origin handles the write. The cache mainly accelerates reads, while write traffic goes straight to the origin.
