Step 1: Prepare Information
* Login IAM portal -> vCD portal: collect the information
- {{vm-uuid}}: select VM -> take a look vm uuid on url
-{{Bearer Token}}: Please follow “Api token login” document
Step 2: Get VM’s memory information
GET https://{{vcd_url}}/api/vApp/{{vm-uuid}}/virtualHardwareSection/memory
Authorization: {{Bearer Token}}
- ‘Accept’: */*;version=37.2
- ‘Content-type’: application/vnd.vmware.vcloud.rasdItem+xml
Copy Response Body
Step 3: Reconfig VM’s memory
PUT https://{{vcd_url}}/api/vApp/{{vm-uuid}}/virtualHardwareSection/memory
Authorization: {{Bearer Token }}
-'Accept: / ;version=37.2
-‘Content-type’: application/vnd.vmware.vcloud.rasdItem+xml
Body: {{select raw -> copy and paste response body from Get VM’s memory information }}
Ex:
Copy
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ns4:Item xmlns:ovf="http://schemas.dmtf.org/ovf/envelope/1" xmlns:rasd="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/CIM_ResourceAllocationSettingData" xmlns:common="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/common" xmlns:ns4="http://www.vmware.com/vcloud/v1.5" xmlns:vssd="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/CIM_VirtualSystemSettingData" xmlns:vmw="http://www.vmware.com/schema/ovf"

<rasd:ResourceType>4</rasd:ResourceType>
<rasdraidtualQuantity>2048</rasd:VirtualQuantity>
<rasd:VirtualQuantityUnits xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:nil="true"/>
type="application/vnd.vmware.vcloud.rasdItem+json"/>
</ns4:Item> ==============================================================================
Find line “<rasd:VirtualQuantity>2048</rasd:VirtualQuantity> ” and edit the value, it’s the VM’s memory (MB).Please note that Value must be a multiple of 4 MB
Step 4: Verify
Get VM’s memory information
GET https://{{vcd_url}}/api/vApp/{{vm-uuid}}/virtualHardwareSection/memory
Login IAM -> vCD portal-> select VM-> Compute
