Resizing VMs

[MariusRoma]

I need to create a VM (Windows Server 2012 R2) on an ESXi 6.0 (free version) host.

The VM will be exported to different ESXi 6.0 (free version) host via .ovf and will be resized on the target host.

Is there any known issue in changing RAM and/or CPU settings while exporting/importing a VM as a guest of an ESXi (free version) host?

Shoud I consider any possible problem (besides obvious ESXi free version maximum number of cores per CPU)?

Regards

To my knowledge, there should be no other considerations than the max limits of the free ESXi and max limits / licensing limits of Guest OS or the installed Guest applications (I guess Win2012 should be able to deal with any configuration that free ESXi supports).

Changing CPU / Memory size is technically very primitive operation and does not involve changing any guest data, therefore normally considered as a fairly safe thing.

Long story short - you should be fine.
