Question about changing characteristics of a VM or data disk
Hi,
Just a quick question here.
Once you've spun up a VM or created a data disk, is it possible to change
the characteristics of said VM or data disk (like give more RAM to the VM,
increase the size of the volume, etc.)?
Thanks!

OK, cool - thanks!
Piecing together more and more of how CloudStack works daily. :)
For volumes, I don't see any reference in the GUI to the Disk Offering they
were created from. That must be in the DB, but not exposed to end users?

Re: Question about changing characteristics of a VM or data disk
Posted by Mike Tutkowski <mi...@solidfire.com>.
That does help, thanks.
So, not to belabor this point (I just want to make sure that I understand
correctly), once a VM is spun up from a compute offering, it is still tied
to this compute offering. If you shut the VM down, change the compute
offering it was created from, then start it back up, it will take on the
new characteristics of the compute offering we changed?
Assuming what I wrote above is accurately describing what you guys are
saying, then what happens if the compute offering the VM was spawned from
has been deleted? Does that mean you can no longer change the
characteristics of that VM?
Thanks!!

Currently the vm needs to be off. There is a dangerous DB hack to do in-place resource changes, but most simply turn off the vm before adjusting the compute offering as allowed by the GUI.
Hope that helps.

Re: Question about changing characteristics of a VM or data disk
Posted by Mike Tutkowski <mi...@solidfire.com>.
Thanks, guys!
By the way, before 4.2, can you explain how one changes these
characteristics? Is the VM I spun up still tied to the compute offering I
used? Do I just go into the compute offering I used to spin up the VM,
change it, then re-start my VM? What if the compute offering has been
deleted?
Thanks again!

RE: Question about changing characteristics of a VM or data disk
Posted by Pranav Saxena <pr...@citrix.com>.
Hey Mike ,
You don't have to necessarily stop the VM in case you want to scale up the CPU and RAM. With the introduction of this new feature in 4.2 (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Dynamic+scaling+of+CPU+and+RAM ) , you can scale them up while the VMs are in the running state.
Regards,
Pranav

Subject: Question about changing characteristics of a VM or data disk
Hi,
Just a quick question here.
Once you've spun up a VM or created a data disk, is it possible to change the characteristics of said VM or data disk (like give more RAM to the VM, increase the size of the volume, etc.)?
Thanks!
