Can I use just one dedicated cache disk per portworx cluster?

at flag

I have seven kubernetes nodes, two of which are physical (bare metal) servers. One of these physical machines has a SSD I'd like to use as a portworx cache disk. Is this a supported configuration or will kubernetes endlessly look for that one disk on every host? Here's a snippet from the "spec" file I am using.

  containers:
    - name: portworx
      image: portworx/oci-monitor:2.8.1.2
      imagePullPolicy: Always
      args:
        ["-k", "etcd:https://kube-kvdb.nppl.yo:2379", "-c", "px-nppl-00dZ16f4-1e2c-4afd-97fa-gf5aef26f24e", "-s", "/dev/vdb", "-cache", "/dev/sdb", "-secret_type", "k8s",
         "-userpwd", "$PX_KVDB_USERNAME:$PX_KVDB_PASSWORD",
         "-x", "kubernetes"]

And here is the state of my cluster.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
