Step 1: Create a cache
Before you create an iSCSI volume that has the Cache mode enabled, you must add a cache disk to the block gateway.
Step 2: Bind cloud resources
You can create shares that use OSS buckets as backend storage. One bucket corresponds to one share. You can bind a block gateway to multiple cloud resources.
