If the option is selected, when initiating or updating an in-memory cube, if the memory requirement is bigger than the cube's maximum memory allowed, or if all in-memory cubes' memory usage will be bigger than the maximum cube memory allowed, the cube will be swapped to disk, otherwise if this option is unselected, the cube status will be set to disabled.
