To modify the capacity of the Everpure Cloud Dedicated array, you can use the array cloud-capacity endpoint in CLI or REST. This will trigger a backend process that will update the Everpure Cloud Dedicated array capacity. The array capacity can be updated only to values defined by the capacity steps endpoint. When an existing capacity update request is in progress, any new request to update of the capacity will receive an error response. To be able to perform the Capacity Upgrade, the user must have the Array_admin policy associated.

Note:

For non-Everpure Cloud Dedicated arrays, this feature is not supported and requests will receive an error response.

Using CLI

The capacity upgrade can be achieved using the cloud-capacity endpoint.


purearray cloud-capacity --help
usage: purearray cloud-capacity [-h] {list,setattr}

{list,setattr}
    list             get current capacity or list supported capacities
    setattr          update the capacity

options:
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit

1. Check the status of the capacity update. It can be on of the following values:

  • idle - default state, no update is in progress, updates are allowed
  • expanding - update is in progress, further updates are not allowed

purearray cloud-capacity list

Output Example:


pureuser@cbspv2> purearray cloud-capacity list
Requested Capacity  Current Capacity  Status  Details
47.75T              47.75T            idle

2. List the available capacity point, the values are in RAW capacity in Bytes. You can map RAW to Usable capacity in the Capacity Points Section.


purearray cloud-capacity list --supported

Output Example (V20 i3en based Model):


pureuser@cbspv2> purearray cloud-capacity list --supported
Supported Capacity
47.75T
95.50T

3. Request a capacity upgrade, use the setattr --requested-capacity flag. The <raw-capacity> attribute indicates the total RAW capacity the array will have after the expansion is complete.


purearray cloud-capacity setattr --requested-capacity <raw-capacity>

Output Example:


pureuser@cbspv2> purearray cloud-capacity setattr --requested-capacity 95.50T
Requested Capacity  Current Capacity  Status     Details
95.50T      47.75T     expanding

4. If you check the status of the capacity upgrade after requesting the capacity. You will be getting updates under Details.


pureuser@cbspv2> purearray cloud-capacity list
Requested Capacity  Current Capacity  Status     Details
95.50T      47.75T     expanding  Capacity update in progress

Using REST API

The capacity upgrade can also be achieved using the cloud-capacity endpoint via REST.

1. GET arrays/cloud-capacity List Everpure Cloud Dedicated array capacity status, including the progress of the capacity update.

Example using cURL:


curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" https://my-array/api/2.29/arrays/cloud-capacity

Response:


{
  "items": [
    {
      "id":                 "0f58952a-13e4-4182-b1dd-76914257a1f1",
      "name":               "PAWS-array",
      "requested_capacity": 52499666960384,
      "current_capacity":   52499666960384,
      "status":             "idle",
      "detail":             null
    }
  ],
}

2. GET /arrays/cloud-capacity/supported-steps List the available Everpure Cloud Dedicated capacity points

Example using cURL:


curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" https://my-array/api/2.29/arrays/cloud-capacity/supported-steps"

Response:


{
  "items": [
    {
      "supported_capacity": 52499666960384,
    },
    {
      "supported_capacity": 10995116277760,
    },
    ...
  ],
}

3. PATCH /arrays/cloud-capacity Update the (raw) requested capacity. Requested capacity indicates the total raw capacity the array will have after the expansion is complete.

Example using cURL:


curl -X PATCH -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" "https://my-array/api/2.29/arrays/cloud-capacity" -d "{ \"requested_capacity\": 10995116277760}"

Response:


{
  "items": [
    {
      "id":                 "0f58952a-13e4-4182-b1dd-76914257a1f1",
      "name":               "my-array",
      "requested_capacity": 52499666960384,
      "current_capacity":   52499666960384,
      "status":             "idle",
      "detail":             null
    }
  ],
}

GET Request (after triggering the capacity expansion)

      "current_capacity":   10995116277760,
      "status":             "expanding",
      "detail":             null
