Changing the processor count or memory size

When an IBM® Business Process Manager Pattern is deployed to a private cloud, the parts in the pattern become running virtual machines. You can change the settings on virtual machines to meet the needs of your business environment.

Before you begin

To manage virtual machines, ensure that the virtual system instance is put into maintenance mode, by clicking the Maintain tab in the panel at the right.
