Prerequisites for using Flash Accel : ESXi host system requirements

ESXi host system requirements
The ESXi server that hosts the flash device and virtual machines must meet minimum resource requirements. Review these requirements before installing the Flash Accel Host Agent.
Note: The ESXi host must have an acceptance level of PartnerSupported. This is the default acceptance level for ESXi hosts.
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. If you are planning to install a 1 TB SSD as a cache device, for example, 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 the approximate memory requirement.
