Understanding the home page
The home page of the Flash Accel Management Console is the jumping-off point for everything you do in the console. You use it to discover vCenter resources, configure caching, monitor caching health, and much more.
The figure below shows the FMC home page for a typical vCenter. The main portion of the page displays a tree view of the vCenter, with hosts listed in alphabetical order.
Use the plus and minus signs, respectively, to expand and collapse items in the tree. Use the Expand and Collapse buttons to expand and collapse the entire tree.
Click the question mark icon in the upper right corner of the home page to view Flash Accel online help. Click the logout icon in the upper right corner to log out of the FMC. You can view the time on the FMC host server in the lower right corner of the home page.
For hosts:
The Cache field displays the ratio of allocated cache to total cache.
The Flash Vms field displays the ratio of virtual machines with Flash Accel installed to the total number of virtual machines.
For virtual machines, the Cache field displays the amount of cache space allocated to the VM.
Note: The bulk actions available for a resource are not displayed in the Bulk Actions area of the home page until you select a resource.
In addition to the tree view, Flash Accel offers sortable directories of hosts and VMs in the vCenter. These directories are particularly useful in very large vCenters, when you need to sort hosts or VMs by name or other attribute. Click Host Directory in the Navigation area to view the Host Directory. Click VM Directory in the Navigation area of the Navigation pane to view the VM Directory.
