Uninstalling Flash Accel from ESXi hosts
You can uninstall the Flash Accel Host Agent from the ESXi servers on which it is installed when you no longer need the software.
Before you begin 
The host must be in Maintenance mode and it must be restarted after the uninstallation. Make sure you pick a time to take the server offline that is the least disruptive to your users.
Make sure there are no virtual machines on the host that are using Flash Accel caching before uninstalling Flash Accel from the host.
About this task 
Uninstalling the software removes the software from the host server, and it also removes Flash Accel as being the owner of the flash device, or devices, that were being used.
Steps 
1.
Make sure the ESXi server is not yet in Maintenance mode.
2.
From the Home page of the Flash Accel Management Console, select the wrench icon for the host and select Flash Device > Unassign.
The Unassign Flash Device dialog box appears.
3.
4.
5.
Select the wrench icon for the host and select Software > Uninstall.
The Uninstall Host dialog box appears.
6.
Click Uninstall to uninstall the Flash Accel software from the selected host.
The progress of the uninstallation operation appears in the Uninstall Host dialog box. When it completes, a message displays at the top of the FMC Home page.
After you finish 
You must restart the host and then take the ESXi host out of Maintenance mode.
