    Note

    While Add Storage Capacity operation is in progress,

    • The system rebalances the storage to ensure that the capacity from the newly added storage servers is available for VM cluster consumption.
    • You cannot create or delete VM clusters.
    • Existing VM clusters provisioned are in the Available life cycle state. However, they do not support scale up or down of resources allocated to the VM cluster, except for OCPU allocation. OCPU allocation changes are allowed even while Add Storage Capacity operation is in progress.
