Enabling caching
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. 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.
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.

From the home page of the Flash Accel Management Console, select each VM or disk on which you want to enable caching and click Cache State in the Bulk Actions area of the home page. In the cache state dialog box, select the Enable radio button and click Submit.
