This command is using the "krunvm" command-line tool to change the configuration of a virtual machine (VM).

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • krunvm: This is the command-line tool used to interact with virtual machines in some kind of virtualization or containerization environment.

  • changevm: This is a specific command or action within the "krunvm" tool to modify the configuration of a VM.

  • --cpus ${number_of_vcpus}: This option specifies the number of virtual CPUs (vCPUs) allocated to the VM. "${number_of_vcpus}" is a placeholder indicating that the actual desired number of vCPUs must be provided.

  • --mem ${memory_in_megabytes}: This option specifies the amount of memory allocated to the VM, specified in megabytes. "${memory_in_megabytes}" is a placeholder indicating that the actual desired memory size must be provided.

  • --name "${new_vm_name}": This option specifies the new name for the VM. "${new_vm_name}" is a placeholder indicating that the desired new name for the VM must be provided.

  • "${current_vm_name}": This parameter specifies the current name of the VM that you want to change its configuration.

In summary, this command is changing the configuration of a virtual machine by specifying the desired number of CPUs, memory size, and a new name for the VM.
