Configure Automatic Capacity Upgrade using the CLI

This guide describes how to configure an automatic capacity upgrade for Everpure Cloud Dedicated using the CLI.

To check the status of an array and show the current capacity point, execute the following command:

purearray cloud-capacity list

Example Output:

purearray cloud-capacity list
Requested Capacity  Current Capacity  Status  Details
3.50T               3.50T             idle

The automatic capacity upgrade can be enabled and configured using the cloud-config CLI command:

purearray cloud-config automatic-capacity-upgrade --help
usage: purearray cloud-config automatic-capacity-upgrade [-h] {disable,enable,list,setattr} ...

positional arguments:
  {disable,enable,list,setattr}
    list                list automatic capacity upgrade details
    setattr             set automatic capacity upgrade properties
    enable              enable automatic capacity upgrade
    disable             disable automatic capacity upgrade

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

To show the current status of the automatic capacity upgrade, execute the following command:
```
purearray cloud-config automatic-capacity-upgrade list
```
In the example output below you can see that automatic capacity upgrade is enabled with the maximum capacity to which the array can be increased set to 7TB:
```
purearray cloud-config automatic-capacity-upgrade list
Enabled  Maximum Capacity  Details
True     7.00T             2025-05-21 14:39:10 : Current capacity utilization is 3%. Once it exceeds 80%, the capacity upgrade will start.
```
Note: Information about the current capacity utilization is refreshed every 10 minutes, so the current displayed information could be out of date when executing this command.
To enable automatic capacity upgrade, execute the following command, where MAX_CAPACITY is the maximum allowed capacity point to which you can the increase array storage capacity:
Note: MAX_CAPACITY size must be chosen from the current supported array capacity points. For example, V10MP2-R2 model supported capacity points are 3.5 TiB, 7 TiB, 14 TiB, 28 TiB, 42 TiB, 56 TiB, 70 TiB, 84 TiB and 98 TiB raw capacity.
```
purearray cloud-config automatic-capacity-upgrade enable  --max-capacity MAX_CAPACITY
```

To change the MAX_CAPACITY size after automatic capacity upgrade has been enabled, execute the following command and change MAX_CAPACITY to the appropriate capacity point value (see above note):
```
purearray cloud-config automatic-capacity-upgrade setattr --max-capacity MAX_CAPACITY
```
To disable the automatic capacity upgrade feature, execute the following command:
```
purearray cloud-config automatic-capacity-upgrade disable
```

When using automatic capacity upgrades, you may receive several alerts and notifications about the status of the service. For detailed information and how-to resolve them, please follow to the Everpure Cloud Dedicated for Azure Alerts for next steps.
