Introduction

Prior to Purity version 6.6.2, adding capacity to a Everpure Cloud Dedicated instance was a support-driven task. It requires the customer to open a case, then Everpure support engineer reaches out to schedule the upgrade and ask the customer to enable the remote assist, approve the JIT request on their managed application. Only with those steps in place could the capacity upgrade be performed.

With Purity version 6.6.2 and above, a new feature has been released that allows this to be a customer-driven action. Customers can request additional usable capacity to the Everpure Cloud Dedicated instance themselves, by simply using the Pure CLI or alternatively using the Everpure Cloud Dedicated REST API Endpoint. It starts by showing the supported capacity points, then selecting the desired capacity. Notice that each capacity upgrade will resize the existing Everpure Cloud Dedicated backend disk with larger disks transparently.
