Troubleshooting: Hyper Cache Creation Button Unavailable?
If you find that the Hyper Cache page is grayed out and the create button is unavailable, follow these steps to troubleshoot:

Step 1: Confirm SSD Availability
Ensure that your device has installed a SATA SSD or NVMe SSD. Go to Control Panel > Storage Manager > Disk > Disk page and check if the SSD is listed.

Step 2: Check SSD Usage
1. Not Part of a Storage Pool
Go to Control Panel > Storage Manager > Storage Pool, expand the details of each storage pool, and check the disk information section. Ensure that the SSD you want to use as a cache is not part of any storage pool. If the SSD is already part of a storage pool, you will need to delete the associated storage pool before the SSD can be used to create a Hyper Cache.

2. Not a System Disk (TOS 6 Only)
Ensure that the SSD is not designated as a system disk. System disks are labeled with the "System Disk" tag (blue) next to their names.
