Description
Adjust the hardware for each virtual machine so that resources such as RAM, disk space, and CPU match the software's actual requirements. In most cases, these values are edited for each machine from the environment configuration in the CloudShare console.
Quick Start Steps
- Click the Infrastructure button.
- Click the Environments List tab from the left menu and select the relevant environment.
- The Virtual Machines tab of the Environment Details page lists all the VMs in this environment (each row is a VM), as shown below:
- To edit a VM, click the VM name in the Virtual Machines tab on the Environment Details page to open the VM Details drawer. The VM Details drawer displays information about the selected VM and lets you edit its settings, as shown below:
- Scroll down to the VM Hardware section of the General tab, and edit the following as needed:
- Total Memory (RAM): Sets the amount of RAM allocated to the VM. Increasing the memory can improve performance for memory-intensive applications, but it also uses more of the environment’s available memory. Clicking the Save changes button will assign the RAM and reboot the machine.
- Disk Size: Sets the amount of virtual disk storage allocated to the VM. Increase this value when the VM requires more space for the operating system, applications, files, logs, or lab data. If needed, repartition the hard drive from within the VM’s OS. For more, see Increasing VM Disk Size.
- vCPU: Sets the number of virtual CPU cores allocated to the VM. Increasing the vCPU value can improve performance for CPU-intensive workloads. Note that the limit is 4 cores, 500 GB disk, and 32 GB RAM. For more, see Increasing VM Disk Size.
- Click the Save Changes button.
