Does upgrading a guest system from one plan to another automatically change resources for it?

Submitted by yngens on Thu, 08/28/2014 - 17:41

I am reading https://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/provisioning/owners and http://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/cloudmin/plans and can't figure out will plans help me in achieving the following task.

Let's say we have three different VPS plans with set of allocated RAM, monthly bandwidth and storage space: 1st plan (1 GB RAM, 100 GB traffic, 100 GB space), 2nd plan (2 GB RAM, 200 GB traffic, 200 GB space) and 3rd plan (3 GB RAM, 300 GB traffic, 300 GB space). Now if we create three different plans: 1st plan, 2nd plan and 3rd plan, associate a created guest system with the 1st plan and respective user and then later want to upgrade its resources up to what 2nd plan has will it suffice to change plan for this guest system to get resources automatically expanded? Or it doesn't work this way and it will expand just allocation of resources and RAM, traffic and storage space should be expanded separately anyway?

Thanks for attention!

So a plan in Cloudmin just defines how much RAM, disk and CPU a user can use across all his VMs. That means that if you move a system owner to a new plan, he can then later upsize his VM to make use of that extra quota - however, this doesn't happen automatically.

Thanks for clarification. This fully answers my question.
