Dell EMC PowerProtect DDVE on Google Cloud Platform 7.9 Installation and Administration Guide
Upgrading the instance type
You can upgrade the DDVE instance type to any higher capacity configuration. You can also upgrade an instance type to the recommended instance within the same capacity. For example, you can upgrade a 256-TB DDVE instance from custom-32-131072 to e2-standard-32.
Prerequisites
NOTE Upgrade is not supported for Block storage solution. If DDVE is using block storage, only 16 TB configuration is supported.
For details about CPU and memory requirements for the supported configurations, see this table:
| DDVE capacity configuration (TB) | Instance type | vCPUs | Memory | Number of disks | Disk size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16 | e2-standard-4 | 4 | 16 | 1-2 | 1024 GB |
| 32 | e2-standard-8 | 8 | 32 | 1-4 | 1024 GB |
| 96 | e2-standard-16 | 16 | 64 | 1-10 | 1024 GB |
| 256 | e2-standard-32 | 32 | 128 | 1-13 | 2048 GB |
NOTE Custom instance types are also supported.
Steps
-
Power off the DDVE using the CLI:
#system poweroff
- From the GCP web console, ensure that the DDVE instance is powered off.
- Change the memory and CPU configurations for the DDVE by selecting . See the table in this topic.
- Power on the DDVE instance.
-
Log in to the DDVE and run this command to verify the new instance configuration:
#system vresource show current
Next steps
- After upgrading the instance to a higher capacity configuration, you can add more disks for metadata. Details are provided in Add more metadata disks for DDVE from the GCP web console.
- If the DDVE is configured with recommended disks, and metadata disks are nearly full, you can expand metadata storage on the existing disks. Instructions are provided in Expand metadata storage.
