Virtualization for reports

HP XP7 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, HP XP7 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, HP XP7 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\\

IMPORTANT:

Ensure that '\\' is retained when mentioning the path for the Virtualizer folder.

Enabling email notifications

For HP XP7 Performance Advisor to dispatch report notifications to the intended recipients, you
must add the IP and port addresses of the source SMTP server, and also specify the source email
address. For more information, see

“Configuring email and SNMP settings” (page 73)

.

Editing report schedules

The report schedules that you create appear in the Scheduled Reports section (Reports+View
Reports).
