Refreshing resources manually
Occasionally, you may need to refresh resources manually, before your regularly scheduled refresh is performed. You may want to initialize a newly installed flash device, for example, without waiting for the overnight refresh to be performed.
Before you begin 
Hosts and VMs must have DNS mappings. Flash Accel cannot discover hosts or VMs that do not have DNS mappings.
Step 
1.
You can refresh a given host or virtual machine, or use a bulk action to refresh resources across the vCenter:
From the home page of the Flash Accel Management Console, click the wrench icon for the host and select Refresh.
From the home page of the Flash Accel Management Console, click the wrench icon for the virtual machine and select Refresh.
From the Console Settings > Discovery Settings tab, click Rediscover in the upper right corner of the tab. You are prompted to discover resources. Click Confirm.
Note: Your settings in Console Settings > Discovery Settings control which undiscovered resources Flash Accel discovers. Resources on which Flash Accel is already installed are refreshed regardless of your settings in Console Settings > Discovery Settings.
Result 
Flash Accel refreshes the selected resources.
After you finish 
Wait until all resources have been updated before attempting to configure hosts and VMs. If a host or virtual machine does not have a DNS mapping, you will receive an error message for the device. You need to configure a DNS mapping for the device before Flash Accel can be used to manage the resource.
