OpenStack Compute (nova)

instance live resize

Registered by Claudiu Belu

In Windows Hyper-V / Server 2012 R2 a new feature was introduced, allowing users to resize the virtual hard disks and memory while the virtual machines are still running. Because of this, no down time for the spawned instances is necessary when performing nova resize. Some restrictions apply though, the virtual hard disk must have the VHDX format and must be attached to a SCSI controller.

For Windows Hyper-V / Server 2012 R2, hot resize is possible only if the new nova flavor has the same CPU requirements as the old flavor, cold resize is unavoidable otherwise.
