Editing a VM while it is online

[NoTr3x]

Hi,

i want to edit my VM while it is running.

So I want to change the RAM Size of my virtual Machine. My first taught was to it with a ConfigSpec, but I got an expection, that it is not possible in this state.

It will generate my next try, but how can i manipulate the config over the API? Like vm.summary.config.memorySizeMB = 2048 ?

vRA and PowerCLI do not make any other way, they editing the vmx file over the API. How could the way be for the orchestrator.

Hi,

Something like the following should work (the sample sets the RAM size to 4 GB, input parameter is vm of type VC:VirtualMachine)

var spec = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();
spec.memoryMB = 4096; // 4096 MB == 4 GB
vm.reconfigVM_Task(spec);
