seconds to delay each virtual machine registration. Selecting this option slows
the migration process. Leave blank to specify no delay.
Batch size If you are migrating a large number of virtual machines, select the total
number of machines to register at a given time. Selecting this option slows the
migration process. Leave blank to specify no limit.

Skip user validation Selecting this option sets the machine's owner to the value listed in the Owner
column of the CSV data file without verifying that the user exists. Selecting this
option can decrease the migration time.

your CSV file for errors.

Managing Machines
You can manage provisioned machines and deployments by using available action options.
Managing Virtual Machines
Managing virtual machines requires different roles to perform some tasks. For example, only a fabric
administrator can change the reservation of a virtual machine, but a machine owner can create a
snapshot of a virtual machine.
Reconfigure a Machine
vSphere, vCloud Air, and vCloud Director platforms support reconfiguration of existing machines to
modify specifications for CPU, memory, storage, or networks.
Reconfiguration requests are subject to approval based on entitlements, policies, and the actions enabled
for the machine component in the blueprint.
If you are entitled to the Cancel Reconfigure (Machine) and Execute Reconfigure (Machine) actions, you
can cancel a reconfiguration or retry a failed reconfiguration.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a machine owner, support user, tenant
administrator, or business group manager.
n
The machine you want to reconfigure has the status On or Off with no active reconfigure status.
