→Changing KVM Virtual Guest System Settings
Settings are changed from within the ''Details'' screen of the Virtual Machine console window. If this window is not currently visible it can be accessed by launching virt-manager and double clicking on the virtual machine for which the configuration settings are to be changed. Once the viewer is visible, select ''View -> Details'' or click on the blue information button on the toolbar to display the screen illustrated in the following figure:

Note that changes to memory for a currently running guest will not take effect until the guest is rebooted.
Additional disks and other devices may be added by clicking on the ''Add Hardware'' button at the bottom of the hardware category list, selecting ''Storage'' from the ''Hardware'' type menu and clicking on ''Forward''. Specify either a disk partition, or a file location to act as the new disk.
