Upgrading server disk space and CPU

[MopeyGecko]

Hi all. I've currently got a cloud compute instance at Vulture with a DirectAdmin install on it. I would like to upgrade from

2 vCPU, 4096 MB RAM, 80 GB SSD, 3.00 TB Transfer

To

4 vCPU, 8192 MB RAM, 160 GB SSD, 4.00 TB Transfer

I assume the CPU upgrade won't cause any issues but I'm not sure if disk space is being upgraded, how I would go about re-partitioning etc. and making the space available to DA. Can any help guide?

Thanks!

Hello,

That depends on partitioning scheme you've got there, and in certain cases you can not enlarge a partition on a live system without using a rescue mode or temporary drive. Since the steps (if done wrong) might bring to a data loss, I'd rather not publish them here. Guides can be found in internet, and you are the only one to take all the responsibilities. If you're unsure, on how to enlarge a partition you'd better contact your server provider for a paid service, or hire somebody else for it.

If you still want to try it on your own and want a quick consulting here, kindly show output of the following commands:

lsblk -a

and

df -h -T

I won't give you direct steps, but might help to determine the technical possibility of it.

if you already using cloud, they might use the cloudinit to setup the server, so that meant it could running automatics disk partition extended.

I don't know how Vultture work. so becarefully incase you need to manual extended disk by yourself.

Regardless, always make a backup and have it stored somewhere else.

It sounds like this is a VPS. The VPS should extend the partition with no problem. But still make a backup. Very important.
