About

By default, you cannot add CPU & Memory resources to a virtual machine when the virtual machine is powered on. The CPU & Memory hot add option lets you add CPU & Memory resources to a running virtual machine.

If you are using VM from Public Template, then you may skip this guide since Hot Add feature has been enabled to all public templates.

Preparation

• Login to Cloud Director
• Hot Add feature must be enabled to each VM
