Edit Settings Greyed out

Hello All,

I am trying to upgrade memory and CPU on one VM we have but for some reason when i edit the settings I cannot change anything with the machine powered on our off, the OK button is greyed out. Any idea what this coudl be? even the network adapter i am unable to update.

 

Thank you!

There seems to be a knowledge base article about this: Troubleshooting when virtual machine options are grayed out in vSphere Client (2048748) (vmware.com)

Have a look! 🙂

Power off the VM.
Unregister it.
Edit the vmx with the embedded editor in WinSCP.
Save the vmx-file.
Reregister it again.

Not the most convenient option but if you value your mental health - this is the option THAT WILL WORK as expected.
