ESXi host system requirements
The ESXi server that will host the flash device and the virtual machines must meet minimum resource requirements. Review these requirements before deploying Flash Accel software on the host.
Hosts must have DNS mappings. Flash Accel cannot discover hosts that do not have DNS mappings.
Flash Accel requires additional RAM to support the size of the flash device you plan to install. For example, if you are planning to install a 1 TB SSD as a cache device, you should install an additional 6 GB of physical RAM in the server. Multiply the size of the flash device by 0.006 to get your approximate memory requirement.
PCIe flash cards must be listed on the NetApp Interoperability Matrix.
