When you have something to test, let me know. We are big vmware shop, I can 
test this when needed.

FYI, I wont be able test anything until I get back in the offfice which the 
first week of January.

Last thing to note, not all operating systems support online increase of 
cpu/mem. Linux seems ok for the most part on 2.6.18+ kernels and 64bit, where 
windows has specific edition that can do that. Vmware has a doc on this 
somewhere.

Currently CS supports changing CPU and RAM for stopped VM. This is achieved by 
changing compute offering of the VM (with new CPU and RAM values) and then 
starting it. I am planning to extend the same for running VM as well. Initially 
planning to do it for Vmware where CPU and RAM can be dynamically increased. 
Support of other HVs can also be added if they support increasing CPU/RAM.

Assuming that in the updated compute offering only CPU and RAM has changed, the 
deployment planner can either select the same host in which case the values are 
dynamically scaled up OR a different one in which case the operation fails. In 
future if there is support for live migration (provided HV supports it) then 
another option in the latter case could be to migrate the VM first and then 
scale it up.

I will start working on the FS and share it out sometime next week.

Comments/suggestions?

Thanks,
