As for the size of the cache, don't know if it's possible to get or probe for that. I would advice to look at the man page
for sissasraidmgr for more.
For example, a cached internal SAS adapter should look something like this.

Description

The sissasraidmgr command is used to create, delete, and maintain RAID arrays on a
Peripheral Component Interconnect-X (PCI-X) or PCI Express (PCIe) SAS RAID controller.

Attention: See the Power Systems™ SAS RAID Controllers for AIX® reference guide and
become familiar with the storage management concepts before you run
the sissasraidmgr command.

Attention: The System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) smit sasdam fast path is the
preferred method to manage a SAS RAID controller.

Attention: Service tasks require special training and must not be performed by nonservice
personnel.
