Adjusting CPU and Memory Reservation settings on running VM...

Hello.

I have two production VMs that have both CPU and Memory reservation settings applied as seen below. I would like to adjust these reservation settings to 'zero' for both CPU and Memory on both VMs.

Can I make these adjustments while the VMs are running, or do I need to power them down first?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Welcome to the Community,

since reservation of resources is completely transparent to the guest, i.e. a host feature, there's no need to power off the VMs. Basically all settings with are available to be modified in the GUI can usually be changed without guest downtime.

Excellent. Thank you very much. I was indeed able to change the reservation settings 'on-the-fly'.
