GCP machine types

instance_type on qumulo_filesystem_gcp accepts only the GCE machine types on this page. Any other value fails plan validation.

Supported types and capacity

Each row gives the most capacity one node of that type supports, in TB.

A dash means the provider attaches no separate read-cache disks to that type.

Capacity limits

Rule Value
soft_capacity_limit_tb range 50 to 10,000 TB
soft_capacity_limit_tb default 500 TB
Ceiling per cluster node_count times the per-node value. A larger soft_capacity_limit_tb fails the plan with Requested capacity exceeds instance capacity.
Growth per apply Less than 5,000 TB
Shrinking Not supported
