How you use Power O Allowed when you are increasing the CPU count or the amount of memory
depends on several factors, including the state of the target virtual machine and whether hot plug is
enabled. Use the following information to determine which scenario applies to your target objects.
If you are increasing the CPU count, you must consider the power state of the virtual machine and whether
CPU Hot Plug is enabled when determining whether to apply Power O Allowed.
