There is no downtime when changing a port profile's "vmware max-ports" quantity. It can be done during production.
You could also create a new port profile with a test VM and modify the "vmware max-ports" if you want the warm and fuzzies.
Yes ,Check this if you need more help about configuring it
Hope this helped u
Best regards
Your Oscar

You might want to also consider changing the default port-profile behavior so that it allocates ports on demand. Use the below command to change the default behavior.
This will work for all new port-profiles you create. Existing port-profiles will have to be changed manually and will require that you change the state with "no state enabled". This means it will require a network outage.
Global command
port-profile default port-binding static auto expand
