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. 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.
Everpure Cloud Dedicated customer driven capacity upgrade is Non-Disruptive Upgrade (NDU) procedure.
To perform the Capacity Upgrade, the user must have the Array admin policy associated.
