If your Lindorm instance is running low on hot storage, scale out or scale in directly from the Lindorm console. This applies to instances using Standard or Performance storage.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure that:
The instance Storage Type is Standard or Performance
Local SSD and Big Data storage types do not support storage scale-out or scale-in. To increase disk capacity for these instances, add nodes instead. See Change the number of nodes for an instance.
Usage notes
Write availability
If hot storage usage exceeds 95%, the instance stops accepting writes. When storage usage reaches the alert threshold, Lindorm sends you notifications via internal messages and text messages. Set a capacity alert threshold well below 95% and configure alert recipients so you receive notifications before usage reaches the critical level:
Instance status during scaling
While a scale-out or scale-in operation is in progress, the instance status changes to RESIZING or Scaling In. Management operations—such as enabling services, upgrading, or downgrading—are unavailable during this time. The instance is ready when its status returns to Running.
Scale-in is a time-consuming operation. Perform it during off-peak hours.
Billing
For actual storage fees, see the console.
Scale hot storage capacity
Log on to the Lindorm console.
In the upper-left corner, select the region where the instance is deployed.
On the Instances page, click the instance ID or click View Instance Details in the Actions column.
On the right side of the page, click Scale out Storage or Scale In Storage next to the hot storage medium.
On the Upgrade/Downgrade page, drag the slider to set the storage capacity.
