Table 1 Description of capacity expansion of DESS device

Type

Description

Common I/O and common I/O (low latency)
  • The capacity of a DESS device can be expanded only when the device is in the Available state and the device capacity you have applied for does not reach the maximum capacity 100 TB.
  • The initial capacity of a DESS device is as follows:
    • 10 TB: Capacity expansion can be performed once after capacity expansion to 20 TB. The capacity expansion specification is 20 TB.
    • Other capacity: Only one capacity expansion is supported, and the capacity expansion specification is 20 TB.

High I/O, high I/O (low latency)
  • The capacity of a DESS device can be expanded only when the device is in the Available state and the device capacity you have applied for does not reach the maximum capacity 100 TB.
  • Only one capacity expansion is supported, and the capacity expansion specification is 20 TB.

Ultra-high I/O, ultra-high I/O (low latency)
  • The capacity of a DESS device can be expanded only when the device is in the Available state and the device capacity you have applied for does not reach the maximum capacity 100 TB.
  • The initial capacity of a DESS device is as follows:
    • 10 TB: Capacity expansion can be performed multiple times after capacity expansion to 20 TB. The subsequent capacity expansion specifications are 20 TB, 40 TB, 60 TB, and 80 TB.
    • Other capacity: Capacity expansion can be performed for multiple times. The capacity expansion specifications are 20 TB, 40 TB, 60 TB, and 80 TB.
