Make sure the CPU count should not exceed the maximum no. of CPUs available on the vCenter portal. To hot add multicore CPUs, verify that the virtual machine has hardware version 8. Not all guest operating systems support CPU hot add and hot remove. You can disable these settings if not supported.

2. To use the CPU hot-add feature with hardware version 7 virtual machines, set the Number of cores per socket to 1.
   
3. Ensure that the VMware Tools is installed on the virtual machine for enabling hot plug (add/remove) functionality with Linux guest operating systems. Ensure that the virtual machine has a guest operating system that supports CPU hot plug.
   
4. You can set any number of Cores per Socket through this plugin step (uses REST API). But it will cause problems while powering on the virtual machine. Make sure the Cores Per Socket should not exceed the allowed limit.

1	OK	Click this button to check and save the field values.  If any required field values are missing then it will display a validation error message else if all the required field values are provided then it will save the field values.
2	Cancel	Click this button, to cancel the window and does not save any values.

No.	Field Name	Description
1	Step Name	Name of the step.  This name has to be unique in a single workflow.
	Configuration:
1	vCenter Server Base URL	Specify the vCenter Server Base URL to connect to vCenter. (e.g.: https://vmware.example.com) Note: If vCenter IP is given instead of vCenter server name, it throws certificate error if the vCenter IP entry is not present in the Subject Alternative Name field of the certificate, because the certificate mostly contains entry of vCenter server in FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) format.
2	Port	Specify the vCenter server port. (Default port is 443). This field should be an integer and value should be less than 65536.
3	Username	Specify a Username to authenticate vCenter server.
	Password:	The password to authenticate vCenter server.
4	Accept value as variable/static	Leave checkbox unchecked to accept Password value from a field in the previous steps of the stream using a drop down list.  Else enable checkbox for Password field to appear as Text box.
5	vCenter Password	Password is entered using a widget. The widget handles both Text (static value or environment variable) and Combo (drop down containing values from previous steps). This field is mandatory. If checkbox above is enabled Password field appears as Text box and accepts static or variable values. Else if checkbox above is disabled Password field appears as a drop down to select fields from previous steps. Please note that Field values can only be accessed when workflow is in running state.
	Button: Test Connection	Verifies whether the connection is available or not. For the purpose of verification fields coming from previous steps are not allowed since field values can only be accessed when workflow is in running state. Static values and environment variables are allowed.

	Input Fields:
1	Virtual Machine Name/UUID	Specify the Name/UUID of the virtual machine to modify CPU count. This field data type is String. This field is mandatory. Notes:  Refer Get VM UUID in the VMWare Plugin introduction for steps to fetch the VM UUID. If two or more virtual machines with the same name appear in the vCenter Server inventory, then you may provide the UUID which is unique to each VM. If VM name contains ‘%’ special character then to execute the plugin step, provide VM name by replacing ‘%’ character with ‘%25’.
2	Button: Get	On click of this button, if the connection is successfully established it populates the list of Virtual Machine Names on the vCenter server. Note: If VM name contains ‘%’ special character then on click of ‘Get’ button, the VM name is returned by replacing ‘%’ character with ‘%25’. You may leave it like that.
3	Enable Memory Hot Add	Allowed values are - ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. If ‘Yes’ is specified then ‘Memory Hot Add’ will be enabled. If ‘No’ is specified then ‘Memory Hot Add’ will be disabled. This field is mandatory. Notes: Ensure that the virtual machine is using hardware version 7 or later. Ensure that the virtual machine has a guest operating system that supports memory hot-add functionality. Ensure that VMware Tools is installed.

3	New Memory Size.	Specify the new Memory Size. This field data type is integer. This field is mandatory. Notes: Ensure that the virtual machine is using hardware version 7 or later. The minimum memory size is 4MB for virtual machines that use BIOS firmware. Virtual machines that use EFI firmware require at least 96MB of RAM or they cannot power on. When the virtual machine is Powered-Off, you can set any no. of memory size through with this plugin step (using REST API). If the virtual machine memory is greater than the host memory size, swapping occurs, which can have a severe effect on virtual machine performance. The memory size must be a multiple of 4MB. Ensure that the virtual machine has a guest operating system that supports memory hot-add functionality.
4	Modify Size By Unit	Allowed values: ‘MB’ or ‘GB’. Memory size will be modified in the given size unit.  This field data type is string. This field is mandatory.
