Editing or scaling out an IBM Storage Scale cloud cluster
Scale out an IBM Storage Scale cloud cluster by using the cloudkit edit cluster command.
The cloudkit edit cluster command helps to increase the filesystem capacity of an existing IBM Storage Scale cloud cluster by performing:
- Expansion of storage cluster instances
- Expansion of compute cluster instances
| Deployment profiles | Compute node limit | Storage node limit |
|---|---|---|
|
Throughput-Performance-Persistent-Storage |
64 | 64 |
|
Throughput-Performance-Scratch-Storage |
64 | 64 |
|
Throughput-Advance-Persistent-Storage |
64 | 10 |
|
Balanced |
64 | 64 |
To expand a cluster, enter the following
command:
./cloudkit edit clusterNote: NSD disks are not balanced after an edit operation. If you want to rebalance the existing file
system data across disks, run the mmrestripefs command.
