--------------------------------------------------

Tested guest OS -
1) Dynamic scaling of both cpu and memory successfully with CentOS 5.5 64 bit operating system in the instance.
2) Used ESXi 5.0 update 1 as host
3) Host is licensed with Enterprise plus edition

> Dynamic scaling of VM consists of scaling CPU & MEMORY of running VM.
> The ability to hotadd cpu or memory depends on Guest operating system version (like CentOS 5.3) and bits of the OS (like 64 bit).
> CloudStack does query Guest OS information available in ESXi information using vSphere API. But this information is not granular to the level of exact version of guest operating system and bitness (32 or 64). Hence it is recommended that user verify if the VM is installed with guest operating system which supports cpu or memory hotadd features from following link.
