<title>Configure the Settings for a VM</title>
|
|
|
|
<body>
|
|
<p>You may need to change the configuration of a Virtual Machine (VM) after it has been created. For example, you
|
|
may want to add more memory. </p>
|
|
<p>Be careful when changing VM settings. It is possible to change all VM settings after installing a guest OS, but
|
|
certain changes might prevent a guest OS from functioning correctly if done after installation.</p>
|
|
<p>To change the settings for a VM:<ol id="ol_imv_1dp_ccc">
|
|
<li>Select the VM in the machine list.</li>
|
|
<li>Ensure the VM is Powered off, not Running or Saved. You can't change fundamental characteristics of the VM
|
|
if it is running. </li>
|
|
<li>Click <b outputclass="bold">Settings</b> to see the current configuration for the VM, and change the
|
|
settings as required. </li>
|
|
</ol></p>
|
|
<p>The settings are described in detail in <xref href="BasicConcepts.dita#BasicConcepts"/>. </p>
|
|
<p>Even more parameters are available when using the <userinput>VBoxManage</userinput> command line interface. See
|
|
<xref href="vboxmanage.dita#vboxmanage"/>. </p>
