RECONFIGURING VIRTUAL MACHINES
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- identifying, in view of virtual machine configuration data of a virtual machine, a plurality of virtual hardware components supported by a guest operating system on the virtual machine;
identifying, by a processing device executing the virtual machine from the plurality of virtual hardware components, a set of supported virtual hardware components that are not used by the virtual machine; and
reconfiguring, by the processing device, the virtual machine to use at least one virtual hardware component from the set of supported virtual hardware components.

Abstract
Implementations of the disclosure describe reconfiguring virtual machines. In one implementation, a method includes identifying, in view of virtual machine configuration data of a virtual machine, a plurality of virtual hardware components supported by a guest operating system on the virtual machine, identifying, by a processing device executing the virtual machine from the plurality of virtual hardware components, a set of supported virtual hardware components that are not used by the virtual machine, and reconfiguring, by the processing device, the virtual machine to use at least one virtual hardware component from the set of supported virtual hardware components.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
a memory; and a processing device communicably coupled to the memory, the processing device to; identify, in view of virtual machine configuration data of a virtual machine executed by the processing device, a plurality of virtual hardware components supported by a guest operating system on the virtual machine; identify, in the plurality of supported virtual hardware components, a set of supported virtual hardware components that are not used by the virtual machine; and reconfigure the virtual machine to use at least one virtual hardware component from the set of supported virtual hardware components. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory machine-accessible storage medium comprising instructions that when accessed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
-
identify, in view of virtual machine configuration data of a virtual machine executed by the processing device, a plurality of virtual hardware components supported by a guest operating system on the virtual machine; identify, by the processing device in the plurality of supported virtual hardware components, a set of supported virtual hardware components that are not used by the virtual machine; and reconfigure, by the processing device, the virtual machine to use at least one virtual hardware component from the set of supported virtual hardware components. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
