 How to Dynamically Scale CPU and RAM
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 To modify the CPU and/or RAM capacity of a virtual machine, you need to
 change the compute offering of the VM to a new compute offering that has
-the desired CPU and RAM values. You can use the same steps described
-above in `“Changing the Service Offering for a
+the desired CPU and RAM values and Dynamic Scaling Enabled option set to true.
+You can use the same steps described above in `“Changing the Service Offering for a
 VM” <#changing-the-service-offering-for-a-vm>`_, but skip the step where you
 stop the virtual machine. Of course, you might have to create a new
 compute offering first.
