Abstract: Techniques for managing cache configuration are disclosed. In some embodiments, the techniques may be realized as a method for managing creation of nodes names and references to source devices during detection of storage devices (e.g., a physical devices such as a SCSI Disk, a redundant array of independent disks (RAID), or logical devices such as logical volume management (LVM) volumes or automatic storage management (ASM) volumes). Management of cache configuration may include creation of rules to generate node names upon detection of source and/or cache devices. Management of cache configuration also may include the creation of rules to create caches or initiate creation of caches upon successful creation of source devices and cache devices corresponding to a cache. Management of cache configuration may include management of the creation of symbolic links to a cache of a source device.
