- Operating system
- Kernel version

-
By default batches are treated as one unit, so XML reports will include
the report information for all the disks in a batch. This option allows
for the user to create separate reports for each of the disks pertaining
to a batch, so the disk records can be handled separately. This is
useful when disk reports are required immediately for each disk; the
batch does not need to complete before the report is issued.
