Scaling Up Cold Storage

Scenarios

If the existing cold storage cannot meet your service requirements, scale up it.

• Cold storage can only be scaled up and cannot be scaled down.

2. In the service list, choose Databases > GeminiDB.
3. On the Instances page, click the instance whose cold storage you want to scale up and click its name.
4. In the Cold Storage area on the Basic Information page, click Scale.
