Option Description
Memory hot add
Select the check box to enable memory hot add. This allows you to add
memory to a powered on virtual machine. This feature is only supported on
certain guest operating systems and virtual machine hardware versions.
Synchronize time
Select the check box to enable time synchronization between the virtual
machine guest operating system and the virtual datacenter in which it is
running.
Modify Virtual Machine CPUs and Memory
You can modify the number of virtual CPUs and memory for a virtual machine.
The number of virtual CPUs and memory that a virtual machine supports depends on its virtual hardware
version.
Table 9-1. Virtual Hardware Versions and CPU/Memory Support
Virtual Hardware Version Maximum CPUs Maximum Memory
HW4 4 64GB
HW7 8 255GB
HW8 32 1011GB
You must power off the virtual machine before adding CPUs or memory, unless the virtual machine supports
memory hot add and virtual CPU hot add.
Procedure
1 Click My Cloud.
2 In the left pane, click VMs.
3 Select a virtual machine, right-click, and select Properties.
4 On the Hardware tab, select the number of CPUs and total memory for the virtual machine.
5 Click OK.
Modify Virtual Machine OVF Environment Properties
If a virtual machine includes user-configurable OVF environment properties, you can review and modify those
properties.
If the vApp containing the virtual machine includes a value for a user-configurable property of the same name,
the virtual machine value takes precedence.
Prerequisites
The virtual machine is powered off and its OVF environment includes user-configurable properties.
Procedure
1 Click My Cloud.
2 In the left pane, click VMs.
3 Select a virtual machine, right-click, and select Properties.
4 On the Custom Properties tab, modify the properties and click OK.
