438+
439+ - Template from which VM is created needs to have Xen tools (for XenServer hosts)

443+ - Service Offering of the VM should have 'Dynamic Scaling Enabled' flag set to true.
444+ By default, this flag is true when a Service Offering is created.

446+ - While deploying a VM, User or Admin needs to mark 'Dynamic Scaling Enabled' to true.

437451How to Dynamically Scale CPU and RAM
438452~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
439453
440454To modify the CPU and/or RAM capacity of a virtual machine, you need to
441455change the compute offering of the VM to a new compute offering that has
442- the desired CPU and RAM values. You can use the same steps described
443- above in `“Changing the Service Offering for a
456+ the desired CPU value and RAM value and 'Dynamic Scaling Enabled' flag as true.
457+ You can use the same steps described above in `“Changing the Service Offering for a
444458VM” <#changing-the-service-offering-for-a-vm> `_, but skip the step where you
445459stop the virtual machine. Of course, you might have to create a new
446460compute offering first.
