Update a template to allow resize without reboot

NOTE: Not all templates support resize without reboot reliably. If you need to revert this change, set allow_resize_without_reboot=0 and ensure resize_without_reboot_policy is set accordingly (if it exists in your database schema on templates table)

NOTE that  allow_resize_without_reboot setting is only used in newer releases if resize_without_reboot_policy isn't set or is not set correctly. Please refer to the docs below for details:

Issue

How to update a template to allow resize without reboot?

Environment

All OnApp versions

Resolution

Log into the OnApp Database:

update templates set allow_resize_without_reboot=1 where id=X limit 1;

Please replace X with the correct template found in the UI.

Additional Information

Please check to see if there are VMs using this template prior to the update. If yes, you can also update these VMs as required using the command below:

update virtual_machines set allow_resize_without_reboot=1 where identifier =' XXXXXXXX' limit 1;

The VM identifier can be found in the address bar in the UI when viewing the Virtual Machine overview page.
