 These instructions assume that your SWe Lite is upgraded to Release 7.0; the system must be running 7.0 to support 1, 2 or 4 vCPUs (depending on your license). See Working with Licenses

Starting in 7,0, the SWe Lite supports the following:

  • For Memory (RAM), valid settings are 1 GiB, 2 GiB, or 4 GiB.
  • For vCPUs, valid settings are 1, 2 or 4 CPUs.

required for the number of CPUs is as follows:

Memory required for number of vCPUs

Number of vCPUsAmount of RAM required
11 GiB
22 GiB
44 GiB
The instructions below outline how to increase the number of vCPUs and increase memory on your VM instance, according to deployment type.
