Configuring a virtual machine refers to modifications that you can make to a virtual machine, such as changing the amount of memory or adding and removing virtual devices, such as network adapters. For most of these changes, you modify a virtual machine setting. In some cases, you can modify the setting only when the virtual machine is shut down or turned off.
