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 Integrated Application Hosting (IAH) 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 Integrated Application Hosting (IAH) feature and have a Core or Premier license installed. For a list of platforms that support the IAH feature and for information about licenses, see the Switch Engine 32.3 Feature License Requirements .
