Expanding Disk Capacity

Scenarios

If the data or system disk capacity of a purchased desktop does not meet requirements, you can expand the desktop's disk capacity.

Prerequisites

You can expand the capacity of a system disk or data disk only when the desktop is running or stopped.

Procedure

1. Log in to the console.
2. In the navigation pane, choose Desktops > Desktops.

   The Desktops page is displayed.

3. Select the desired desktop and choose More > Disks and Snapshots > Expand Disk Capacity in the Operation column.

   The page for expanding disk capacity is displayed.

4. Select System Disk or Data Disk.
5. (Optional) If there are multiple data disks, select the data disks for capacity expansion.
6. Set the Added Capacity (GB).
   

   • System disk capacity range: The capacity can be expanded to 1,020 GB on the management console and to 2,040 GB by calling APIs. The capacity can only be increased by multiples of 10. Expanding the capacity to more than 1,020 GB may deteriorate disk performance. Exercise caution when performing this operation.
   • The data disk capacity that can be added is displayed on the page. The total capacity after expansion cannot exceed 8,200 GB.
   • Disk capacity expansion is not supported for hourly-billed Flexus desktops.
