Smart flash log is not created on one or more storage server

On our exadata , we got the following issue reported in exacheck

Smart flash log is not created on one or more storage server

we checked the status

CellCLI> list flashlog attributes name,size

CellCLI> list flashcache
cellnode_FLASHCACHE normal


We found Flashdisk is configured but not the flashlog

To create Exadata Smart Flash Log when Exadata Smart Flash Cache is already enabled, at the default sizings for both, enter the following "cellcli" commands as the "celladmin" user:


[root@cellnode1~]# cellcli
CellCLI: Release 11.2.3.2.1 - Production on Thu Nov 14 22:07:56 GMT+05:30 2013

Cell Efficiency Ratio: 6,568

CellCLI> drop flashcache
Flash cache cellnode1_FLASHCACHE successfully dropped

CellCLI> create flashlog all
Flash log cellnode1_FLASHLOG successfully created

CellCLI> create flashcache all
Flash cache cellnode1_FLASHCACHE successfully created

CellCLI> list flashlog attributes name,size
         cellnode1_FLASHLOG       512M

CellCLI> exit


NOTE: Exadata Smart Flash Log is created by default with Exadata Storage Server Software version 11.2.2.4.0 and above.

NOTE: Exadata Smart Flash Log will be used by Oracle software 11.2.0.2 Bundle Patch 9 (or higher) or 11.2.0.3.0. The recommended Oracle software version levels are 11.2.0.2 Bundle Patch 11 (or higher) or 11.2.0.3 Bundle Patch 1 (or higher).

NOTE: The default Exadata Smart Flash Log size of 512MB is the recommended value.
