Table 3 Parameter description

Parameter

Type

Mandatory

Description

volume

Object

Yes

The detailed information about the volume request.

For more information, see Table 4.

is_auto_pay

Boolean

No

Whether the order is automatically paid from your account when you scale up the storage of a yearly/monthly DB instance. This parameter does not affect the payment mode of automatic renewal.

  • true: indicates that the order is automatically paid from the account.
  • false: indicates that the order is manually paid from the account. The default value is false.

Parameter

Type

Mandatory

Description

group_id

String

No

The role ID.

  • For a cluster instance, this parameter is set to the ID of the shard group.
  • This parameter is not transferred for replica set instances.

size

String

Yes

The requested disk capacity. The value must be an integer multiple of 10 and greater than the current storage space.

  • In a cluster instance, this parameter indicates the storage space of a shard node to be scaled up to. Value range: If the shard node has fewer than 8 vCPUs, the value ranges from 10 GB to 5,000 GB. If the shard node has 8 or more vCPUs, the value ranges from 10 GB to 10,000 GB.
  • In a replica set instance, this parameter indicates the storage space of the DB instance to be scaled up to. Value range: If the instance has fewer than 8 vCPUs, the value ranges from 10 GB to 5,000 GB. If the instance has 8 or more vCPUs, the value ranges from 10 GB to 10,000 GB.
  • In a single node instance, this parameter indicates the storage space of the DB instance to be expanded. The value ranges from 10 GB to 5000 GB.

node_ids

Array of strings

No

This parameter is required when the disk capacity of the read replica of a replica set instance is expanded. Only one element can be transferred in the list.

  • Request example
    Clusters:
     { 
       "volume" : { 
         "group_id" : "1b0c008adbcb495c81a3d5762a02a2abgr02", 
         "size" : 20 
       } 
     }
    Replica sets:
     { 
       "volume" : { 
         "size" : 20 
       } 
     }
    Single nodes:
     { 
       "volume" : { 
         "size" : 20 
       } 
     }
    Read replicas in a replica set instance:
    {
    "volume" : {
    "size" : 20,
    "node_ids" : [ "8f643d252d834a4c916b2db4322f9955in02" ]
    }
    }
