How to configure all aspects of VMs in the hybrid cloud platform, including CPU, RAM, remote access, network, storage, backups, bootstrap scripts, firewalls, Chef, load balancers, metrics, alarms, and variables.

This page section describes how to configure VMs in detail. Before you read this pagesection, you may like to work through Manage virtual 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.  Excerpt

Prepare to configure a VM

To prepare to configure a VM do these steps:

Panel

Privileges: Edit virtual appliance details

  • 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

    • On the VM icon, select the options menu, and select Edit.Full configuration details are given below

  • After you make your changes click Save. The platform will reconfigure the VM. 

  • Deploy or power on the VM as appropriate.

    • Info

    Infrastructure 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.
