How to increase Planning Analytics Database disk size

How To


Summary

This document outlines the steps required to increase the size of disk allocated to a specific Planning Analytics Database

Steps

It is not possible to change the disk size once a Planning Analytics Database instance has been created.  Instead, the instance must be recreated and desired disk size specified. 

The following steps should be taken:
  • Ensure a recent Planning Analytics Database backup has been created
    See: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/planning-analytics/2.0.0?topic=mdpaas-view-manage-database-backups-planning-analytics-as-service
  • Download the Planning Analytics Database backup file locally
    • It is not enough to only generate a backup, you must download the backup file locally (to be uploaded/restored later)
    • Failure to download a local copy of the backup will result in the backup being lost when the database instance is recreated
  • Delete the Planning Analytics Database instance
    • Do not delete without ensuring you have downloaded a local backup and that the local backup file is valid (.tar.gz file can be opened)
  • Create Planning Analytics Database instance with desired disk size
  • Upload local Planning Analytics Database file to the recreate instance
  • Restore the Planning Analytics Database from the backup file
  • Once the restoration process has completed, the database will be started and available for use
