Excerpt

Prepare to configure a VM


Panel

Privilege: Edit virtual appliance details

  1. If your VM is deployed

    1. If your VM supports hot-reconfigure (in private cloud on VMware hypervisors, in public cloud, see provider features tables), you may configure when powered on
    2. If your VM does not support hot-reconfigure, select the VM and go to the stop button.
      1. If your guest supports graceful shutdown with guest tools, select the Shut down option
      2. Or connect to the VM and shut it down directly
      3. Or, if your VM is prepared for a hard shutdown, select Power off
  2. On the VM icon, select the options menu, and select Edit.Full configuration details are given below
  3. After you make your changes click Save. The platform will reconfigure the VM. 
  4. Deploy or power on the VM as appropriate.
VM names and power on order

The platform powers on VMs in ascending alphanumeric order, so to establish a power on sequence, you could use numbers as a prefix to VM friendly names. For example, 1_WebServer will power on before 2_Database. However, there is no guarantee that the VMs will finish starting up in the same order.


Info
titleInfrastructure updates

The periodic infrastructure check will detect direct changes to the VMs (CPU, RAM and hard disk) and register these changes in platform statistics and accounting, as well as on the VM general configuration page.
