#### Response Type:

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
bold = required
value | info | Memory-related settings of the virtual machine.
value.size_MiB | long | Memory size in mebibytes.
value.hot_add_enabled | boolean | Flag indicating whether adding memory while the virtual machine is running is enabled. Some guest operating systems may consume more resources or perform less efficiently when they run on hardware that supports adding memory while the machine is running.
value.hot_add_increment_size_MiB | long | The granularity, in mebibytes, at which memory can be added to a running virtual machine. When adding memory to a running virtual machine, the amount of memory added must be at least vcenter.vm.hardware.memory.info.hot_add_increment_size_MiB and the total memory size of the virtual machine must be a multiple of {@link>hotAddIncrementSize}. Optional. Only set when vcenter.vm.hardware.memory.info.hot_add_enabled is true and the virtual machine is running.
value.hot_add_limit_MiB | long | The maximum amount of memory, in mebibytes, that can be added to a running virtual machine. Optional. Only set when vcenter.vm.hardware.memory.info.hot_add_enabled is true and the virtual machine is running.

#### Errors:

HTTP Status Code | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
500 | error | if the system reports an error while responding to the request.
404 | not_found | if the virtual machine is not found.
400 | resource_inaccessible | if the virtual machine's configuration state cannot be accessed.
503 | service_unavailable | if the system is unable to communicate with a service to complete the request.
401 | unauthenticated | if the user can not be authenticated.
403 | unauthorized | if the user doesn't have the required privileges.
