1) It is required to specify cache/core device using links in /dev/disk/by-id/, preferably those using device WWN if available: /dev/disk/by-id/wwn-0x123456789abcdef0.
Referencing devices via /dev/sd* is prohibited because may result in cache misconfiguration after system reboot due to change(s) in drive order. It is allowed to use /dev/cas*-* as a device path.
