Flash Accel Installation and Administration Guide : Managing Flash Accel caching systems : Setting the cache state for virtual machines and disks

Setting the cache state for virtual machines and disks
For the contents of a virtual disk to be cached, you must enable caching on both the disk and the virtual machine on which the disk is configured. The cache state determines whether caching is enabled or disabled for a VM or disk.
Note: It is important to understand the difference between the cache state and the operational status of the cache. "Operational status" refers to the health of the cache on a host, VM, or disk, and can be affected by factors other than the cache state. The cache state for a VM and disk may be enabled, for example, but caching still may not be available because the cache space has not been allocated or formatted.
