Changes the amount of memory assigned to an existing virtual machine (VM).
| 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. |
By default, the amount of RAM allocated to a VM is 4,096.
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.
The following example changes the amount of RAM allocated to VM "vm1" to 2,000 MB:
# configure vm vm1 memory 2000
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 30.3.
This command is available on all platforms that support the Extreme Insight for Guest VMs feature and have a Core license installed. For a list of platforms that support the Insight feature and for information about licenses, see the ExtremeXOS 30.6 Feature License Requirements .
