Changing Service
Users can change compute offering of the Virtual Machine. A compute offering is a set of virtual hardware features such as CPU core count, speed, and memory. To upgrade or downgrade the level of compute resources available to a virtual machine, you can change the VM's compute offering using the 'Change Service' wizard.
Note: Change service action on a running VM is supported from Accelerite CloudPlatform 4.2 onwards. You can use this feature when the enable.dynamic.scale.vm setting is enabled on CloudPlatform.
- Hyper-V does not support the change service feature for running VM.
- You can scale up the compute offering for both running VM and stopped VM, but you can scale down the compute offering only for stopped VM.
To change service for a VM Instance
- Log in to CloudPortal Business Manager as a user.
- Click My Services.
- Either click the cloud service instance tab or click the Manage Resources link of the desired service instance.
- In the Instances tab, specify the VM for which you want to change service. Alternatively, you can select the required VM from the left pane.
- Place the cursor over the manage icon (that looks like a gear wheel), and click Change Service. In the Change Service wizard that appears:
- Select the required value from the Compute offering drop-down list.
Note: The values in the drop-down list are as follows:
- If the compute offering of the specific VM is of 'local' type then the list displays all the compute offerings of 'local' type.
- For a running VM, the list displays the compute offerings with greater configuration than the current compute offering.
- For a stopped VM, the list displays all the compatible compute offerings.
- Select the I agree to the Terms and Conditions check box.
- Click OK.
- Select the required value from the Compute offering drop-down list.
