Upgrading Flash Accel on ESXi hosts
When a new version of the Flash Accel Host Agent software is available, you can upgrade each of your ESXi hosts.
Before you begin 
Upgrading the Flash Accel software on the host does not require that the host be in Maintenance mode, but it must be restarted after the upgrade. Make sure you pick a time to upgrade the server that is the least disruptive to your users.
About this task 
The new Host Agent software package resides on the server where the Flash Accel Management Console is installed.
Steps 
1.
From the Home page of the Flash Accel Management Console, select the wrench icon for the host and select Software > Upgrade.
A dialog box appears with the prompt "Are you sure you want to upgrade the Flash Accel Host Agent on the selected host?".
2.
Click Yes to upgrade the Flash Accel software on the selected host.
While the upgrade is in progress, it is tracked in the Ongoing Processes page. When it completes a message displays at the top of the FMC Home page.
After you finish 
You must restart the host so that the new software is running on the host.
