Scaling Up a Single Node Instance

Precautions

• Scaling is available when your account balance is sufficient.
• Each single node instance can be scaled up for a maximum of eight times.
• Storage space can only be scaled up. It cannot be scaled down.
• If you scale up a DB instance with disks encrypted, the expanded storage space will be encrypted using the original encryption key.
• An instance cannot be scaled up if it is in any of the following statuses:
  • Creating
  • Changing instance class
  • Deleting node
  • Upgrading minor version
• Services are not interrupted during scaling. The storage type cannot be changed.

2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and a project.

   Select at least 10 GB each time you scale up the storage, and the storage size must be multiples of 10 GB. The maximum amount of storage space is 1,000 GB.

6. On the displayed page, confirm the storage space.
   • If you need to modify your settings, click Previous to go back to the page for you to specify details.
   • If you do not need to modify the specifications, click Submit to scale up the storage space.

   • This process takes about 3 to 5 minutes. The status of the DB instance in the instance list is Scaling up.
   • In the upper right corner of the DB instance list, click to refresh the list. The instance status changes to Available.
   • In the Storage Space area on the Basic Information page, check whether the scaling up is successful.
