How to modify the default parameter of the Windows virtual machine ?

[Charly Clairmont]

Hi !

Is there a simple way to modify RAM and CPU parameters of the Windows virtual machine ? Could we make this change without build the windows images ?

Cheers

Hi Charly,

Here is a way to do it :

- Stop the VM in the web GUI (wait until it appears to be down)

- On your host, edit the file 

modules/iaas/scripts/launch-windows-custom-server-127.0.0.1-windows-server-std-2012R2-amd64.sh

- Change the lines with your values

       for the RAM =>  -m 2560  (RAM in MB) 

       for CPUS    =>   -smp "${VM_NCPUS}" 

for instance "-m 4096" and "-smp 4"

- Copy the modified script in iaas-module container

docker cp launch-windows-custom-server-127.0.0.1-windows-server-std-2012R2-amd64.sh iaas-modules:/go/src/github.com/Nanocloud/community/modules/iaas/scripts/launch-windows-custom-server-127.0.0.1-windows-server-std-2012R2-amd64.sh

- Launch the VM in th GUI

Feel free to ask us if you have any other issue.

Cheers,

Dominique
