ram cache viewing and dumping

i hope this is the right place to post. i see a lot of changes have occurred on devcentral.

 

 

going through some of the tutorials on icontrol but i have not yet found what i am looking for. i want to use the

 

 

LocalLB.RamCacheInformation

 

 

to view and evict from ram cache. i don't quite get the structure on this command. i see others use the get_list() after them but i don't know how to find command line options for this.

 

 

i do see it as a valid command doing an $IC | gm but when i enter the command it comes back with no complaint and no information.

 

 

thanks for any direction.

    Hi Scott,

     

     

    You might try posting in the iControl forum to get more relevant eyes on your question.

    i know it isn't powershell, but should give you an idea of the structure of RamCacheKey
