How to Increase the Virtual Appliance Memory on VMware

Note: For Hyper-V deployments, refer to the Deploying Cloudpath as a Virtual Appliance Using Microsoft™ Hyper-V Manager configuration guide.

We recommend that your VMware server have 12-16GB RAM, which is sufficient for most production environments. However, there may be circumstances (performance, larger deployments) that require adjustments to the memory allocation for Cloudpath.

Use these instructions if you want to change the memory configuration of a virtual machine's hardware.

  1. From the vCenter client, power off the virtual appliance.
  2. Select the VM, and right-click to Edit Settings.
  3. With the Hardware tab selected, select Memory.
  4. On the right window pane, increase the Memory Size.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Power on and reboot the VM.
