Expanding Disk Capacity

If a disk does not have sufficient capacity, you can expand its capacity. Both the system disk and data disk can be expanded. The maximum size of a system disk is 1 TB. For details about how to expand the disk capacity, see Expansion Overview in Elastic Volume Service User Guide.

The system disk capacity of a Windows BMS that is quickly provisioned cannot be expanded. If you need to expand the capacity, contact technical support.

After the capacity expansion is successful, allocate the partition for the extended space of the DSS disk.

For details about the follow-up operations after a disk is expanded, see Extending Disk Partitions and File Systems (Windows) or Extending Disk Partitions and File Systems (Linux).
