Expand a DBaaS instance's disk space

Expand a DBaaS instance’s disk to give it more room for data, in steps of 250 GB, up to 4,000 GB in total. You pay for the extra space per GB per hour, on top of the plan price.

Before you begin

Stop the DBaaS instance first; see Start, stop, and restart a DBaaS instance.

Expand the disk

1. From the DBaaS instance’s More Actions menu, click Expand Disk.
2. In Upgrade DBaaS Disk space, choose the Additional Size. Each addition is permanent, so size it for the data you expect.
3. Click Upgrade.

The status reads Upgrading while the disk grows, then Stopped when the expansion is done. To check the new size, open Expand Disk again and read Current Disk size.

The DBaaS instance now has the extra disk space. Start it again to take connections; see Start, stop, and restart a DBaaS instance. For more vCPUs or RAM as well, see Upgrade a DBaaS instance’s plan. If the DBaaS instance is unreachable after the expansion, see Troubleshooting DBaaS.
