Getting started with Flash Accel : Installing Flash Accel Guest OS Agents

Installing Flash Accel Guest OS Agents
Flash Accel Guest OS Agents manage caching functionality on virtual machines. You should install the Guest OS Agent on each virtual machine you plan to cache. You can install the agent on a single VM, or use a bulk install to install agents on multiple VMs.
Before you begin 
It is a good idea to take a snapshot of your VMs before you install the software, in case you need to revert to an earlier version.
Note: The virtual machine is shut down or restarted when the installation completes. You need to be sure this is an acceptable time to take the virtual machine offline.
Steps 
1.
From the VM Inventory page of the FAMC, click the wrench icon for the VM on which you want to install Flash Accel software and select Software > Install.
From the VM Inventory page of the FAMC, select each VM on which you want to install Flash Accel software and click VM Agent Install in the Bulk Actions area of the FAMC.
The virtual machine installation dialog box opens.
2.
Click Install.
Note: Select the Reboot check box if you want to restart VMs automatically after installation.
Result 
The Flash Accel Guest OS Agent is installed on the VM. If you selected the Reboot check box, the VM is restarted. Otherwise, it is shut down. Restart the VM before enabling caching.
Note: Flash Accel sets the disk.enableUUID flag to TRUE on the VM if necessary.
