Flash Accel 1.1 Installation and Administration Guide : Managing Flash Accel caching systems : Specifying connection information manually for hosts and virtual machines

Specifying connection information manually for hosts and virtual machines
You need to specify connection information manually for a given host or virtual machine when Flash Accel is unable to communicate with it. The default credentials you supplied may not be correct for a host or VM, a host may have multiple IP addresses, or a virtual machine may use an IP address different from the one reported by vSphere.
About this task 
Occasionally, you may not be able to install the Flash Accel Guest OS Agent on a VM over the default port. The port may be behind a firewall or it may be in use by some other software. In that case, you need to specify a different port for the installation.
You do not need to specify connection information unless Flash Accel is experiencing some kind of problem communicating with a host or virtual machine. These problems typically involve incorrect credentials or multiple IP addresses for a host or VM.
Note: An account with administrator privileges is required for the host. A local, or domain, account with administrator privileges is required for the VM.
Steps 
1.
From the Home page of the Flash Accel Management Console, click the wrench icon for a host or VM and click Edit.
The Edit page displays.
2.
The port Flash Accel can use when it installs the Guest OS Agent on the VM.
3.
Click Submit.
Result 
The information for the host or VM is updated.
After you finish 
Refresh the host or VM so you can view the updated configuration information.
