Flash Cache and Pool in the same system

[tflammger]

Just need to verify that I'm reading this correctly. According to the latest C. documentation:

You can use Flash Pool aggregates and the Flash Cache module (WAFL external cache) in the same
system. However, data stored in a Flash Pool aggregate is not cached in the Flash Cache module.
Flash Cache is reserved for data stored in aggregates composed of only HDDs.
-- Data ONTAP 8: Physical Storage Management Guide

That says to me that if a system has one aggregate and a cache card, the card will effectively be disabled when the aggregate goes hybrid. Is that correct?

Just checking with the community if this restriction - Fash Cache or Flash Pool but not both - still exists in CDOT 9.3 or 9.4 - Thanks #CDOT #NETAPP
