Create a Cache

NCache Professional edition allows you to create the following caches:

Partitioned Cache
Replicated Cache
Local Cache (meaning a standalone cache)

For other caching topologies, please download and use NCache Enterprise. See more details on edition comparison between NCache Open Source, Professional and Enterprise.

We'll create a Partitioned Cache here.

New-Cache cmdlet enables the user to create a new cache on one or more server nodes.

In Windows PowerShell, execute the following command to create a new partitioned cache named demoCache on server 20.200.20.200, with default configurations.

Warning

Cache with the specified name should not exist on the server; otherwise you get an error message that this cache already exists on this server.

New-Cache -Name demoCache -Server 20.200.20.200 -Size 1024 –Topology Partitioned

You can create a Replicated cache by specifying -Topology Replicated.

Start Cache

To start the cache, please type the following command in Windows PowerShell:

Start-Cache –Name demoCache

Successful cache creation will be prompted on the screen.

Verify Successful Cache Creation

To verify that you’ve created the cache successfully, please type the following command in Windows PowerShell:

Get-Caches -Detail

This command gives a detailed status of all caches registered on the cache server. You should see that demoCache has a Cluster-size of 1 with IP address of the cache server listed with it. The output also displays the Item Count, which at this stage should be 0.
