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 cluster the provider creates on Qumulo Core 7.10.0 or later has a per-node ceiling of at least 2000 TB on every machine type.

Machine type	Capacity per node (TB)	Local SSD read-cache disks
n2-highmem-8	502	4
n2-highmem-16	1488	8
n2-highmem-32	2976	16
n2-highmem-48	4464	24
n2d-highmem-8	502	4

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	2000 TB per node, at most 10,000 TB, on a cluster the provider creates on 7.10.0 or later, and 500 TB otherwise
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
