What Is a Renewal Order That Has Not Taken Effect?

For example, a user has purchased a yearly/monthly disk, and the disk expired on December 30, 2019, if the user renewed the disk on December 15, 2019, the order is a renewal order that will not take effect before December 30, 2019.

Symptom: A message is displayed in the upper right corner of the console, indicating that the disk cannot be expanded because it has a renewal order that has not taken effect.

  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Unsubscriptions and Changes > Unsubscriptions.
  3. Locate the target order and choose More > Unsubscribe from Renewal in the Operation column.
  4. After the unsubscription is complete, go to the EVS console and expand the disk capacity.
  5. Renew the disk after the capacity expansion succeeded.
