Scaling Up Storage Space

Precautions

• Storage space can only be scaled up.
• Storage scaling does not interrupt your services. After storage scaling is complete, you do not need to restart your instance.

Procedure

2. In the service list, choose Databases > GeminiDB.
3. On the Instances page, locate the instance whose storage space you want to scale and choose MoreScale Storage Space in the Operation column.

   Click the instance name. In the Storage Space area on the Basic Information page, click Scale.

4. On the displayed page, specify a new storage capacity and click Next.

     • If you do not need to modify your settings, click Submit.

6. Check the scaling result.
