You can enable optimized scan for Windows source VMs using the ServiceEnabledForOptimizedVSAScan additional setting. Optimized scan should be enabled for VMs that have a large number of files (that is, millions) to be indexed.
Before You Begin
-
Ensure that the VM name and the client name are the same.
-
To generate snapshots on the source VM client, each volume must have at least 1 GB of free storage for every 1 million items.
Procedure
-
Install the file system core or file system agent on the client computer.
-
On the VM, add the ServiceEnabledForOptimizedVSAScan additional setting. For information about adding an additional setting to a VM, see Settings for VM Groups.
-
Restart services on the client computer.
