Junaid,

You might try writing that data to a filesystem that's outside VCL and just
gets mounted by the VCL VMs, along the lines of creating a "thaw space"
when using the lab-locking software DeepFreeze:

https://tracermedia.atlassian.net/browse/MCHLEM-307

If your VCL VMs are on your LAN in such a way that they can get to a
fileserver where LabStats knows to write its data, it could be a workaround
for the more complicated task of changing VCL's reclaim behavior.

Regards,
Mike
