# Reconfigure the target VCH

`PATCH /target/{target}/vch/{vchId}`

Making a `PATCH` request on a VCH resource (with a body as described in RFC 7396) will update a subset of that VCH's configuration. As `PATCH` is an explicit request to update a set of fields, fields which cannot be modified must not appear in the body of the `PATCH` request, even if the modification would be a no-op.
