NOTE A virtual machine with WWNs that are already in use on the storage network is prevented
from powering on. To solve this issue, generate new WWNs or remove them.
Provide the WWN assignments to your SAN administrator. The administrator needs those assignments
to configure virtual machine access to the LUN. For more information on how to configure NPIV for a
virtual machine, see the Fibre Channel SAN Configuration Guide.

settings. See the Resource Management Guide for more information on cluster settings.
n
Always store with the virtual machine— Store the virtual machine swapfile in the same folder as the
virtual machine configuration file.
n
Store in the host’s swapfile datastore— Store the virtual machine swapfile in the swapfile datastore
defined by the host or cluster swapfile settings.
Virtual Machine Resource Settings
In the Virtual Machine Properties dialog box, you can adjust the host resource allocation for the selected virtual
machine. You can change CPU, memory, disk, and advanced CPU resources from this tab.
For more information on resources, see the Resource Management Guide.
CPU Resources
The CPU Resources panel of the Virtual Machine Properties dialog box lets you allocate processor resources
for a virtual machine, specifying reservations, limits, and shares.
You can edit some of the same information on the Resource Pools tab of the main vSphere Client window,
which you might do to edit resource settings at the same time you edited other virtual machine settings.
Change CPU Settings of a Virtual Machine
Use the Resources tab in the Virtual Machine Properties dialog box to change the CPU settings of a virtual
machine.
Procedure
1 Click the Resources tab.
