Expand EBS Disk Capacity in the Console

<p class="shortdesc">If the capacity of an EBS disk is insufficient, you can expand the disk capacity in the console. </p> <section class="section prereq" id="exconsole__prereq_tqt_r1r_rlb"><div class="tasklabel"><h2 class="doc-tairway">Before you begin</h2></div> <p class="p">You have created an EBS disk.

You can also expand the capacity of the original EBS disk online. </p> <p class="p">The operation through the console is only an expansion of the disk capacity, not the partition capacity. If you want to extend the disk partition, you need to operate under the operating system of the cloud server. </p> </section> <section class="section limitation" id="exconsole__a2v_n1r_rlb"><div class="tasklabel"><h2 class="doc-tairway">Limitation</h2></div> <ul class="ul" id="exconsole__ul_rbj_s1r_rlb"> <li class="li">General EBS and SSD EBS disk capacity expansion is not supported. </li> <li class="li">Only data disk capacity can be expanded, and the maximum capacity is 2000 G. </li> <li class="li">If a data disk is creating snapshots, do not expand the disk capacity. </li> <li class="li">Disk capacity can only be expanded.
