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 via VNC
If you disable remote access, hypervisor configuration will remain but you cannot access it through the console icon
If you change the password, the change will be applied when you save the VM. Remember that it can be a maximum of 8 alphanumeric characters, i.e.. a to z, A to Z, 0 to 9. If you delete the password, the screen requesting the password will not appear. On ESXi hypervisors, if you set a password and later delete it, the password will be blank, not null. The screen requesting the password will appear, and you should press <Enter> to continue.
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.
To change a VM's Fully qualified domain name (FQDN), make the change in the VM's operating system and the platform will detect the new value
For ESXi hypervisors, you cannot change the Remote access password using hot reconfigure
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.
