Step 1: Expand Disk Capacity
Scenarios
When your EVS disk capacity is insufficient, you can expand the disk capacity on the console to prevent any data loss that may be caused by insufficient storage space.
Prerequisites
Ensure that the disk meets the following conditions:
- The status of a non-shared disk is In-use or Available.
- The status of a shared disk is Available. If the status is In-use, detach the disk from all of its servers and then expand the capacity.
- The disk has been backed up using CBR or snapshots. For details, see Backing Up EVS Disks and Managing EVS Snapshots respectively.
Ensure that the server meets the following conditions:
- If the disk status is In-use, the server status must be Running or Stopped.
- If the disk status is In-use, the server OS must meet the requirements describes in Related Operations.
If the server OS does not meet the requirements, detach the disk and then expand the capacity. Otherwise, you may need to stop and start the server to make the disk capacity larger.
Notes and Constraints
- Disk capacity can be expanded, but cannot be reduced.
- The maximum capacity of a system disk is 1 TiB, and that of a data disk is 32 TiB. The minimum expansion increment is 1 GiB for both system disks and data disks.
Procedure
- Log in to the console.
- Choose an expansion entry.
- To expand the disk on the ECS console (suitable for a disk that has been attached to an ECS):
- Choose Compute > Elastic Cloud Server to go to the ECS list page.
- Click the name of the server to go to the Summary page.
- Click the Disks tab, locate the disk you want to expand, and click Expand Capacity in the Operation column.
- To expand the disk on the EVS console:
- Choose Storage > Elastic Volume Service to go to the EVS console.
- Locate the disk you want to expand and click Expand Capacity in the Operation column.
- To expand the disk on the ECS console (suitable for a disk that has been attached to an ECS):
- On the Expand Capacity page, set New Capacity and click Next.
- In the displayed Note dialog box, read the note, and click Expand Capacity.
- On the Expand Capacity page, check the disk configuration.
- Click Submit to start the expansion of a pay-per-use disk. For a yearly/monthly disk, make the payment before you can continue.
- Click Previous to change the settings.
- In the disk list, view the capacity of the target disk.
When the disk status changes from Expanding to In-use or Available, and the disk capacity increases, the expansion is successful.
NOTE:
When a disk is in the Expanding state, you cannot modify the specifications of the ECS where the disk is attached.
- (Optional) Skip this step if the disk status is In-use (attached to a server). Attach the disk to a server if the disk status is Available. For details, see Attaching an EVS Disk.
- Log in to the server and extend the partition and file system after the disk has been expanded on the console, because the previous steps only enlarge the disk space.
The operations vary depending on the server OS.
- For Linux, see Extending Disk Partitions and File Systems (Linux).
- For Windows, see Extending Disk Partitions and File Systems (Windows).
Related Operations
Perform the following operations to check whether your server OS allows you to expand In-use disks:
- Check your server image. Certain public images and private images same as those public images allow you to expand In-use disks, and do not require the servers to be stopped and then started after the expansion.
To view such images, log in to the console, click
in the navigation pane on the left, and choose Compute > Image Management Service. On the Public Images tab, view the images of the ECS system disk image type.
- If your server OS is not in the image list, check whether it is included in Table 1.
If it is included in Table 1, you can expand capacity while the disk is in use without the need to stop and start the server after the expansion. Otherwise, you must detach the disk and then expand its capacity, or stop and start the server after the expansion.
