Is it possible to make changes to memory size upon VM restart?

[palm101]

I have a VM that is allocated 768MB but I want to expand it to 1GB. I want this change to take effect when the VM is restarted.

Usually I would shut down the VM and change the memory and start the VM but I want it more automated. Possible?

the VM has to be powered off in order to increase the memory

This is possible using VMware PowerCLI, but you have to create your own Powershell script for it.

There are however plenty of examples available to perform different tasks, so with a little help from Google, you should be ok.

Youi could use Powershell.

There is another way: use vmware-vim-cmd. If you search for vimsh on google you will find combinations.
