Enabling caching on virtual machine disks
For the contents of a virtual disk to be cached, you must enable caching on the disk as well as the virtual machine on which the disk is configured. You can enable caching on as many disks on a virtual machine as you want, but you must enable it on at least one disk for caching to be performed.
Before you begin 
Flash Accel Guest OS Agent software must be installed on the virtual machine before caching can be enabled on disks.
About this task 
The disks on which you enable caching should be disks the application accesses locally. You typically should not enable caching on the boot disk or other disks the application does not use.
Step 
1.
From the home page of the Flash Accel Management Console, click the wrench icon for the disk on which you want to enable caching and select Cache State > Enable.
Result 
The Cache State field for the disk is set to Enabled. Caching is now operating on your system.
