Vault

../../Work/Images/EMC/VMAX/vault.png

Triggers
        - Losing too many key components: multiple DAs, power supplies, SPSs
        - Any condition that would not guarantee a safe flush of CACHE in a power down event
        - Vault can be forced, can also be triggered by offlining too many directors
        - Batteries being drained

A vault is simply protection of CACHE / data
Writes come in a sequential fashion and that's how the data is managed by the symmetrix
