Getting started with Flash Accel : Configuring the Flash Accel Management Console : Specifying connection information manually for hosts and virtual machines

Specifying connection information manually for hosts and virtual machines
You need to specify connection information manually for a given host or VM if its credentials differ from the default credentials, or if Flash Accel is unable to communicate with the VM.
About this task 
An account with administrator privileges is required for both the host and the VM.
You must disable Windows User Access Control (UAC) if you plan to log in to the virtual machine with credentials other than those of the built-in Administrator account. The account you use must be in the Administrators group, and it cannot be in the Users group.
Steps 
1.
From the Host or VM Inventory page of the FAMC, click the wrench icon for a host or VM and click Edit.
The Edit page displays.
2.
The IP address of the VM. Enter an IP address if Flash Accel reports an error connecting to the VM with the host name obtained from the vCenter.
The port Flash Accel can use when it installs the Guest OS Agent on the VM. Enter a port name if Flash Accel is unable to communicate with the VM over the default port. The port may be behind a firewall, or it may be in use by some other software.
3.
Click Submit.
Result 
The information for the host or VM is updated.
After you finish 
Refresh the host or VM so you can view the updated configuration information.
