Configuration Collection or Performance Collection tab.
The text GUID is appended to the file names of those command devices on which the GUIDs
are created. The HP XP7 Performance Advisor configuration and performance data collection
through such command device files uses \\?\Volume {GUID}.
NOTE: To ensure accurate performance data collection:
• The command device on which the GUID is created must always be mounted.
• When you create a GUID, you must request updated host agent information under the Host
Information tab.
• If you delete a GUID partition and recreate it, you must request the updated host information
under the Host Information tab.
• If GUID creation is successful and the command device is corrupted, the HP XP7 Performance
Advisor configuration and performance data collection might fail.
