Table 8 VM Manager Modify menu options
Menu Selection | Action Summary |
Modify→Virtual Machine vCPU Entitlement... | Modifies the processor entitlement of a selected virtual |
| machine. |
Modify→Virtual Machine Memory... | Modifies the amount of virtual memory (entitlement) to |

| memory parameters if dynamic memory is supported on |
| the virtual machine's OS. The changes take effect when |
| the virtual machine is restarted. |
Modify→Virtual Machine CPU Count... | Modifies the number of virtual CPUs allotted to a virtual |
| machine that has been configured for symmetric |
| multiprocessing. The changed value takes effect when the |
| virtual machine is restarted. |
Modify→Virtual Machine VLAN Settings... | Modifies the VLAN assignments of virtual switch ports |
| connected to the virtual machine. |
Modify→Virtual Machine Hardware Auto Start... | Modifies the startup attribute (autoboot) of a selected virtual |
| machine. You can allow the virtual machine to be started |
| automatically when the VM Host is started, or you can set |

| manually. |
Modify→Add Storage Device to Virtual Machine... | Adds a virtual storage device to a virtual machine, where |
| the virtual storage device is backed by physical storage |
| and connected to a virtual storage adapter on the VM Host. |
Modify→Add Network Device to Virtual Machine... | Adds a network device to a virtual machine, where the |
| network device is associated with a virtual switch. Allows |
| you to create a new virtual switch. |

Using the Delete menu
The Delete menu allows you to delete one or more virtual machines, virtual switches, or virtual machine I/O devices. Figure 47 shows the choices that might be available when you select the Delete menu. The choices are enabled according to the view and tab. In Figure 47, the Virtual Machine... option is enabled and the Virtual Switch... and I/O Device... options are disabled. The Virtual Machine... option is enabled at the VM Properties view or any VM Host or Vswitch Properties tab where you have selected one or more virtual machines (such as the VM Host Virtual Machines tab, as shown in Figure 47). The Virtual Switch... option is enabled at the Vswitch Properties view or any VM Host or VM Properties tab where one or more virtual switches are selected. The I/O Device... option is enabled at any Network or Storage tab where one or more I/O devices are selected.
From tabs that list and allow selection of multiple virtual machines, virtual switches, or I/O devices, you can simultaneously delete all selected objects.
