Reducing Vault Capacity

During digital operations, data workloads often fluctuate rapidly. Over-provisioning vault capacity can result in unnecessary costs due to inefficient use of storage resources. You can reduce the vault capacity if required.

Capacity reduction is available only for pay-per-use vaults.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the CBR console. Click in the upper left corner and select a region.
  2. Locate the target vault and choose More > Reduce Capacity in the Operation column. See Figure 1.

  3. Enter the new capacity. Ensure that the new capacity is greater than 125% of the used capacity. Otherwise, the capacity reduction will fail. The minimum allowed is 10 GB, and the maximum is capped at the current vault capacity, which is also the default value.
  4. Click Next. Confirm the settings and click Submit.
  5. Go back to the vault list. If the vault capacity in the Used/Total Vault Capacity (GB) column is less than the original capacity, the vault capacity has been decreased.
