Expansion Scenario

This section describes the capacity expansion of ECSs and EVS disks.

ECS Expansion

  • Modifying ECS Specifications
    If the ECS specifications do not meet service requirements, you can modify the ECS specifications, including vCPUs and memory. Table 1 describes an example where an SAP HANA ECS is upgraded from e1.4xlarge to e1.8xlarge.
    Table 1 ECS specification modification

    ECS Name

    Before

    After

    hana01

    e1.4xlarge

    e1.8xlarge

  • Modifying Specifications and AZ/Region

    If you need to migrate an ECS to another AZ or region when upgrading the ECS configuration, you can create a full-ECS image on HUAWEI CLOUD for the migration.

  • Modifying Specifications and AZ/Region with Low RTO

    If you need to migrate an ECS to another AZ or region when upgrading the ECS configuration, use full-ECS image and backup recovery or system replication for the migration to reduce RTO.

EVS Disk Capacity Expansion

EVS disk capacity expansion is to expand the system disk or data disk to meet data storage requirements. For details about the pricing of a changed specification, see Pricing of a Changed Specification.

  • For details about Expanding EVS Disk Capacity (Without LVM), see Table 2.

    Description:

    A system disk of 100 GB and a data disk of 470 GB are attached to an ECS. The system disk and data disk are expanded to 200 GB and 940 GB, respectively.

  • For details about the Expanding EVS Disk Capacity (with LVM), see Table 3.

    hana-data02

    vdc

    Description:

    There are two data disks of 400 GB each attached to an ECS. A logical volume of 696 GB is divided from the LVM volume that is formed by the two data disks and mounted to the /hana/data directory. You can expand the /hana/data directory to 1.4 TB by expanding the capacity of EVS disks and the file system.

The following documents describe how to expand the capacity of an EVS disk.
