When you prepare a parent virtual machine for View Composer, you can configure the parent virtual machine and linked-clone desktops to store virtual-machine swap files on the local datastore. This optional strategy lets you take advantage of local storage.
In this procedure, you configure local storage for the virtual-machine swap files, not the paging and temp files in the guest OS. When you create a linked-clone pool, you also can redirect guest OS paging and temp files to a separate disk. See Worksheet for Creating a Linked-Clone Desktop Pool.
Prepare the parent virtual machine to meet the requirements of the View Composer service. See Prepare a Parent Virtual Machine.
