How to configure all aspects of VMs in the hybrid cloud platform, including CPU, RAM, remote access, network, storage, backups, bootstrap scripts, firewalls, load balancers, metrics, alarms, and variables. |
This section describes how to configure VMs in detail. Before you read this pagesection, you may like to work through Manage Virtual Machinesvirtual machines to help you get started working with VMs. After you add your VMs to a virtual appliance, you can configure the VMs before deployment or reconfigure after deployment. Each of these configuration topics is also available as a separate page.

If your VM is deployed
- 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
- If your VM does not support hot-reconfigure, select the VM and go to the stop button.
- If your guest supports graceful shutdown with guest tools, select the Shut down option
- Or connect to the VM and shut it down directly
- Or, if your VM is prepared for a hard shutdown, select Power off

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.

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. |
