Abstract
A method, a system, and a computer program product for managing the resources of a virtual machine on a physical server are provided. The method includes receiving, at a management application, a request to increase a first virtual resource from an initial level to an increased level for a first virtual machine. The first virtual machine is provided by a first physical server in a computing environment. The method also includes determining whether a free virtual resource for the first physical server is sufficient for the request at the increased level. The method also includes increasing, in response to the free virtual resource being insufficient for the request, the first virtual resource.
