Format of a local named cache

The following shows the format of a local named cache:

[Named Cache:log_sales]
	[Instance: SALES_INSTANCE]
	cache size = 100M
	cache status = mixed cache
	cache replacement policy = DEFAULT
	local cache partition number = DEFAULT
[2K I/O Buffer Pool]
	[Instance: SALES_INSTANCE]
	pool size = DEFAULT
	wash size = DEFAULT
	local async prefetch limit = DEFAULT

The global definition should be declared first in the configuration file, and then the local definition. The server does not start otherwise. An instance-specific pool configuration on a named cache, for example, is not permitted if there is no corresponding instance-specific cache configuration. The following example is illegal:

[Named Cache:tempdb_cache]
cache size = 100M
cache status = mixed cache
cache replacement policy = DEFAULT
local cache partition number = DEFAULT
[2K I/O Buffer Pool]
pool size = DEFAULT
wash size = DEFAULT
local async prefetch limit = DEFAULT
[instance: SALES_INSTANCE]
pool size = DEFAULT
wash size = 40960K
local async prefetch limit = DEFAULT
