Virtualization for reports
XP Performance Advisor maintains a temporary buffer in a folder called the Virtualizer folder for
the report data that is being generated. This is useful if the report is for viewing large number of
LDEVs. In such cases, XP Performance Advisor uses certain amount of the management station's disk
space to temporarily store the data till the entire report gets generated. Once the report is completely
generated, delete the cached report file from the Virtualizer folder to release the disk space for
other activities.
When the first report is created, XP Performance Advisor creates a folder called the Virtualizer
folder in the HPSS folder. If you want to change the location of the Virtualizer folder, edit the
following line in the Cache path for Reports module section, which is located at the end of the
ServerParameters.Properties file:
# Cache path for Reports module
#
ReportFileVirtualizerPath=.\\Virtualizer\\
