Resource configuration FAQ

{: #faq-resource-config} {: faq} {: support}

How do I retrieve the resource configuration for a {{site.data.keyword.databases-for}} instance?

{: #faq-resource-config-retrieve} {: faq} {: support}

Retrieving resource configuration through the UI

{: #faq-resource-config-retrieve-ui} {: faq} {: support} {: ui}

After you have selected the specific IBM Cloud Databases instance from the Resource List, navigate to the Resources tab, which displays your current resource configuration.

Retrieving resource configuration through the CLI

{: #faq-resource-config-retrieve-cli} {: faq} {: support} {: cli}

The {{site.data.keyword.databases-for}} CLI plug-in{: external} can retrieve your instance's current resource configuration, by using the ibmcloud cdb deployment-groups command. The ibmcloud cdb deployment-groups displays the scaling group values for a deployment's members. The scaling groups relate to Memory, CPU, and Disk. The default group is named "member". Use a command like:

ibmcloud cdb deployment-groups <INSTANCE_NAME_OR_CRN>

{: pre}

The command will return a value that looks like:

Group   member
Count   3
|
+   Memory
|   Allocation              3072mb
|   Allocation per member   1024mb
|   Minimum                 3072mb
|   Step Size               384mb
|   Adjustable              true
|
+   CPU
|   Allocation              0
|   Allocation per member   0
|   Minimum                 9
|   Step Size               3
|   Adjustable              true
|
+   Disk
|   Allocation              30720mb
|   Allocation per member   10240mb
|   Minimum                 30720mb
|   Step Size               3072mb
|   Adjustable              true
