Verifying that Flash Accel is working
You can verify that Flash Accel is working by viewing the status icons for the virtual machine and for the disks. The status icons should be green for both devices.
About this task 
In addition to the icons, you can click the Info button for each virtual machine and for each disk to view detailed information for each device.
Steps 
1.
Click the Info button for the virtual machine that you have just enabled for caching.
The Virtual Machine Info dialog appears. The Cache State should be Enabled, the Cache Mode should be Write Thru, and the Operational State should be Normal.
2.
Click the Info button for the disk, or disks, that you have just enabled for caching.
The Disk Info dialog appears. The Cache State should be Enabled, the Cache Mode should be Write Thru, and the Operational State should be Normal.
Result 
You have completed the steps to enable caching on a disk in your system.
After you finish 
You should wait until the cache is "fully warmed"—meaning populated with data from typical application read and write activity—before you begin tracking performance statistics. The amount of time until full cache warming varies depending on the working set size of the application data and I/O access rate.
