Editing .vmx file

[jeevesm]

I have memory affinity issue mentioned in this KB article (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1003842)

Is there a way to change/edit vmx file (and not loose the change) without removing the VM from inventory and adding it back again?

[AWo]

What about using PuTTY or ssh and vi?

[jeevesm]

Any changes made to vmx file directly will be discarded if the VM is not removed from inventory prior to editing vmx file.

I could be wrong, but I think that's only the case if the VM is running when you edit the VMX file.

If it was useful, give me credit
