Applies to

ONTAP Select 9.6 or later

Answer

  • Increasing or decreasing the amount of resources allocated to the VM is not supported.
  • Instance size can be changed by Deploy CLI command: cluster instance modify -name <cluster name> -node-names <node name1,node name2> -instance-type <small|medium|large> . 

NOTE: Changing ONTAP Select instance size from Deploy CLI requires the license you select for the node must match or exceed the instance type. 

Additional Information

2.1 VM Properties The ONTAP Select VM has a fixed set of properties, which are described in Table 4. Increasing or decreasing the amount of resources allocated to the VM is not supported. Additionally, the ONTAP Select instance hard reserves the CPU and memory resources, meaning that the physical resources backed by the VM are unavailable to any other VMs hosted on the server.

  1. Provide the Hypervisor and Network configuration.

    There are three node configurations which define the virtual machine size and available feature set. These instance types are supported by the standard, premium, and premium XL offerings of the purchased license, respectively. The license you select for the node must match or exceed the instance type.

    Select the hypervisor host as well as the management and data networks.
