Research direction
The issue requests a sample script that stops a VM, adds vCPU and RAM, and powers it on. Review existing samples in the repository (e.g., samples/vm ops.py) for patterns. Use pyVmomi's ReconfigVM Task method to modify hardware. Consider testing against a vCenter or ESXi instance. The single comment may provide additional context.
