Complex Scenarios

You use UCS to manage a Huawei Cloud cluster and on-premises cluster. Figure 1 shows the timeline.

Figure 1 Timeline

The following provides the details:

  • You successfully connected the Huawei Cloud cluster and on-premises cluster to UCS at 08:00:00 on June 15, 2023. The Huawei Cloud cluster has 40 vCPUs and the on-premises cluster has 10 vCPUs.
  • At 08:30:00 on June 15, 2023, you expanded the cluster capacity to 60 vCPUs for the Huawei Cloud cluster and 30 vCPUs for the on-premises cluster.
  • You purchased a UCS package at 09:00:00 on June 15, 2023 and set the package to take effect immediately. The Huawei Cloud cluster has 60 vCPUs for one month and the on-premises cluster has 30 vCPUs for one month.
  • At 08:00:00 on July 14, 2023, you expanded the cluster capacity to 80 vCPUs for the Huawei Cloud cluster and 40 vCPUs for the on-premises cluster.
  • The package expired at 23:59:59 on July 15, 2023.
  • You purchased another UCS package at 09:00:00 on July 16, 2023 and set the package to take effect immediately. The Huawei Cloud cluster has 80 vCPUs for one month and the on-premises cluster has 40 vCPUs for one month.
  • You deregistered both clusters at 09:00:00 on July 20, 2023.
  • The package expired at 23:59:59 on August 16, 2023.
