After you deploy a VM, the changes you can make will depend on your cloud provider. To change the configuration of a deployed VM do these steps:
Select the VM
If your provider or operating system does not support using hot add and hot reconfigure, power off the VM, using the Stop button on the control panel. For Azure, you may need to deallocate the VM
Mouse over the VM and from the options menu, select Edit.
In the Edit VM dialog, go to General, and make changes as required to:
Name, which is the VM friendly name
CPU and RAM (if your VM is not using hardware profiles)
Remote access in private cloud
...
If you disable remote access, hypervisor configuration will remain but you cannot access it through the console icon
...
. This section applies to VNC access, which is deprecated for vCenter. Do not change these settings
Description of the VM
Hardware profiles
Make changes to Networks and Storage, Firewalls, and Load balancers as required
Click Save
The changes will be applied in the cloud provider directly.

| Warning |

Do NOT change the Abiquo tag in public cloud Do not change the Abiquo platform's tag on a VM in a public cloud provider (e.g. on an AWS instance) because you could break the link between Abiquo and the VM. If the link is broken, you will not be able to manage the VM with Abiquo. |
