Reducing a Tenant's Resources#
Tenant compute resources can be reduced on-the-fly, by deleting a tenant node or reducing the cores/RAM assigned to tenant nodes.
Reducing cores/RAM provisioned to a Tenant Node#
The tenant node does not need to be powered off to reduce resource settings; however, if those resources are currently in use by tenant workloads, they will not actually be reclaimed until VMs are shut down. Example: if you reduce a tenant node's RAM resources to 28GB while 32GB is in use by its VMs; the change can be made, but it does not automatically shut down or reclaim any RAM from running VMs.
Deleting a Tenant Node#
In order to delete a tenant node, it must first be powered off.
Do not delete the original tenant node; each tenant needs at least one node. {.is-warning}
To Delete a Tenant Node#
- Navigate to the tenant dashboard.
- Click Nodes on the left menu.
- Double-click the desired node in the list.
- If needed, migrate or power off VMs and Power off the node, then return to the tenant node list. (Use the browser back button or the "Tenant Nodes" breadcrumb.)
- Select the node.
- Click Delete on the left menu.
