Before You Start

Application Scenarios

You can change specifications of a CBH instance to meet your business needs.

This document applies to specification changes of a single-node CBH instance on Huawei Cloud.

To change specifications of a CBH instance in two-node cluster mode, click Service Tickets in the Huawei Cloud management console and submit a service ticket for technical support.

Change Process

This document provides guidance for the system administrator admin to change specifications of a CBH instance. The general steps are as follows: Back up the CBH system data before the change; change the instance specifications; restore the CBH system configurations; and verify that the configurations for the original and new CBH systems are consistent.

Figure 1 Specification change process

Restrictions on Changing Specifications

Changing specification includes changing the edition and asset specifications of a CBH instance.

• Edition: The edition of a CBH instance can only be changed from the standard to the professional, but cannot be changed from the professional to the standard.
• Asset specifications: include assets, concurrent requests, CPU, memory, and data disks. Asset specifications can only be scaled up.
  

  • Changing specifications has no impact on the bandwidth and traffic of the EIP bound to the instance.
  • The default capacity of the system disk is 100 GB. Changing specifications does not affect the system disk but expands data disk capacity.
  • CBH historical edition provides only functions of the standard edition. To change its specifications, click Service Tickets in the upper right corner of the Huawei Cloud management console and submit a service ticket for technical support.

Precautions for Changing Specifications

• Software version

  To make the functions of the profession edition take effect, the CBH system software version must be V3.2.16.0 or later, or the CBH system cannot be upgraded even the specifications are changed.

  If the software version is earlier than V3.2.16.0, upgrade the system version first.

• System data backup and restoration

  Before you change specifications, back up important system data to prevent system data loss caused by change failures.

  After the specifications are changed, reload the backup data to the system to quickly restore the system configurations.

• Specification change time

  The entire specification change process includes preparation, background upgrade, and verification after the change. The process takes about 60 minutes. It takes about 30 minutes to change the backend specifications. During this period, close the CBH system, which will interrupt the CBH system service.

  To reduce the impact on the system running, change specifications during off-peak hours.
