You can call this operation to modify some properties of a dedicated host, such as the name, description, and instance migration policy that is applied when the dedicated host fails.

Description

  • All the ECS instances that are hosted on a dedicated host must be in the Stopped (Stopped) state before you can modify the CPU overcommit ratio of the dedicated host.
  • Modifications to the CPU overcommit ratio of a dedicated host does not affect the running status of the dedicated host. After the CPU overcommit ratio is modified, the number of allocated vCPUs on the dedicated host cannot not exceed the new total number of vCPUs. Otherwise, ECS instances that use the excess vCPUs cannot be started.

Request parameters

Parameter Type Required Example Description
Action String Yes ModifyDedicatedHostAttribute

The operation that you want to perform. Set the value to ModifyDedicatedHostAttribute.
DedicatedHostId String Yes dh-bp165p6xk2tlw61e****

The ID of the dedicated host.
RegionId String Yes cn-hangzhou

The region ID of the dedicated host. You can call the DescribeRegions operation to query the most recent region list.

DedicatedHostName String No testDedicatedHostName

The name of the dedicated host. The name must be 2 to 128 characters in length and cannot start with http:// or https. It can contain letters, numbers, colons (:), underscores (_), and hyphens (-).

Description String No testDescription

The description of the dedicated host. The description must be 2 to 256 characters in length and cannot start with http:// or https://.

ActionOnMaintenance String No Migrate

The policy used to migrate the instances deployed on the dedicated host when the dedicated host fails or needs to be repaired online. Valid values:

  • Migrate: Instances are migrated to another physical server and restarted.
  • Stop: Instances on the dedicated host are stopped. If the dedicated host cannot be repaired, the instances are migrated to another physical server and restarted.

If the dedicated host is attached with cloud disks, the default value is Migrate.

If the dedicated host is attached with local disks, the default value is Stop.
NetworkAttributes.SlbUdpTimeout Integer No 60

The timeout period for a UDP session between Server Load Balancer (SLB) and the dedicated host. Unit: seconds. Valid values: 15 to 310.

NetworkAttributes.UdpTimeout Integer No 60

The timeout period for a UDP session between a user and an Alibaba Cloud service on the dedicated host. Unit: seconds. Valid values: 15 to 310.

AutoPlacement String No on

Specifies whether to add the dedicated host to the resource pool for automatic deployment. If you do not specify the DedicatedHostId parameter when you create an instance on a dedicated host, Alibaba Cloud automatically selects a dedicated host from the resource pool to host the instance. Valid values:

  • on: adds the dedicated host to the resource pool for automatic deployment.
  • off: does not add the dedicated host to the resource pool for automatic deployment.

For information about automatic deployment, see Features.

DedicatedHostClusterId String No dc-bp165p6xk2tlw61e****

The ID of the dedicated host cluster to which the dedicated host belongs.
CpuOverCommitRatio Float No 1

The CPU overcommit ratio. You can configure CPU overcommit ratios only for the following dedicated host types: g6s, c6s, and r6s. Valid values: 1 to 5.

The CPU overcommit ratio affects the number of available vCPUs on a dedicated host. You can use the following formula to calculate the number of available vCPUs on a dedicated host: Number of available vCPUs = Number of physical CPU cores × 2 × CPU overcommit ratio. For example, the number of physical CPU cores on each g6s dedicated host is 52. If you change the CPU overcommit ratio of a g6s dedicated host to 4, the number of available vCPUs on the dedicated host is 416. For scenarios that have minimal requirements for CPU stability or where CPU load is not heavy, such as development and test environments, you can increase the number of available vCPUs on a dedicated host by increasing the CPU overcommit ratio. This way, you can deploy more ECS instances of the same specifications on the dedicated host and reduce the unit deployment cost.
