configure vm vm_name memory memory_size

Description

Changes the amount of memory assigned to an existing virtual machine (VM).

Syntax Description

vm Designates creating a virtual machine.
vm_name Specifies the VM name to change memory for.
memory Designates specifying the amount of RAM allocated to the VM.
memory_size Specifies the amount of RAM (in MB) allocated to the VM. The default is 4,096.

Default

By default, the amount of RAM allocated to a VM is 4,096.

Usage Guidelines

The amount of RAM allocated to a VM is set when the VM is created (default is 4,096 MB), but you can change the allocation with this command. To view the amount of RAM currently allocated to a VM, use the command show vm {vm_name | detail}.

This command does not take effect until the next time the guest VM is started.

The Extreme Insight feature requires the Solid State Storage Device SSD-120.

Example

The following example changes the amount of RAM allocated to VM "vm1" to 2,000 MB:

# configure vm vm1 memory 2000
