Change the configuration of a deployed VM

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:
1. Name, which is the VM friendly name
2. CPU and RAM (if your VM is not using hardware profiles)
3. Remote access in private cloud. This section applies to VNC access, which is deprecated for vCenter. Do not change these settings
4. Description of the VM
5. 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.
