Abstract
A method is used in managing cache systems of storage systems. Information is gathered from a storage system to determine an estimated amount of time required to flush data of a nonvolatile cache of the storage system to storage devices. The data cached in the nonvolatile cache is associated with a set of logical objects configured to cache the data in the nonvolatile cache. Based on the information gathered from the storage system, the estimated amount of time required to flush the data of the nonvolatile cache is determined.
