Prerequisites for using Flash Accel : Virtual machine system requirements
|
VMs must have DNS mappings. Flash Accel cannot discover VMs that do not have DNS mappings.
|
|
No specific requirements for Flash Accel.
|
|
Flash Accel requires additional virtual memory to support the amount of cache allocated to the virtual machine. If you are planning to allocate 500 GB of cache to the VM, for example, you should configure an additional 3 GB of memory. Multiply the size of the cache you want to use by 0.006 to get the approximate memory requirement.
|
|
Flash Accel uses a physical Raw Device Mappings (pRDM) device to represent the cache to the virtual machine. The RDMP file for the device cannot be stored in an NFS datastore. If the files for the VM are stored in an NFS datastore, its host must have access to a VMFS datastore for the RDMP file.
