Message:Shut it down and change the setting. Just like you can't shove a DIMM into
a server while it is running and have it recognize the additional memory,
you also can't do that with Virtual Server. You also want to run some
benchmarks. More memory to the VM doesn't alwasy translate to better
performance.

Message:Anyway to enlarge the original amount of hard drive space allocated to the
VM? I went to the hard disk configuration under the VM configuration
properties but didn't see where I could set this to be larger.
