- DESCRIPTION
- 
Adjust the number of nodes in the VMware Engine cluster. Successful addition or
removal of a node results in a cluster in READY state. Check the progress of a
cluster using gcloud vmware private-clouds clusters list.
- EXAMPLES
- 
To resize a cluster called my-clusterin private cloudmy-private-cloudand zoneus-west2-ato have3nodes of typestandard-72, run:gcloud vmware private-clouds clusters update my-cluster --location=us-west2-a --project=my-project --private-cloud=my-private-cloud --update-nodes-config=type=standard-72,count=3Or: gcloud vmware private-clouds clusters update my-cluster --private-cloud=my-private-cloud --update-nodes-config=type=standard-72,count=3In the second example, the project and location are taken from gcloud properties core/project and compute/zone. To enable autoscale in a cluster called my-clusterin private cloudmy-private-cloudand zoneus-west2-a, run:gcloud vmware private-clouds clusters update my-cluster --location=us-west2-a --project=my-project --private-cloud=my-private-cloud --autoscaling-min-cluster-node-count=3 --autoscaling-max-cluster-node-count=5 --update-autoscaling-policy=name=custom-policy,node-type-id=standard-72,scale-out-size=1,storage-thresholds-scale-in=10,storage-thresholds-scale-out=80

- 
provide the argument --projecton the command line;
- 
set the property core/project.
 This must be specified. - CLUSTER
- 
ID of the cluster or fully qualified identifier for the cluster.
To set the clusterattribute:- 
provide the argument clusteron the command line.
 This positional argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified. 
- 
provide the argument 
- --location=- LOCATION
- 
Location of the private cloud or cluster.
To set the locationattribute:- 
provide the argument clusteron the command line with a fully specified name;
- 
provide the argument --locationon the command line;
- 
set the property compute/zone.
 
- 
provide the argument 
- --private-cloud=- PRIVATE_CLOUD
- 
VMware Engine private cloud.
To set the private-cloudattribute:- 
provide the argument clusteron the command line with a fully specified name;
- 
provide the argument --private-cloudon the command line.
 
- 
provide the argument 
 
- 
provide the argument 
 
- 
Cluster resource - cluster. The arguments in this group can be used to specify
the attributes of this resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments
in this group but can be set in other ways.
- FLAGS
- 
- --async
- 
Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
The default is True. Enabled by default, use--no-asyncto disable.
- --node-type-config=[[- count=- COUNT],[- type=- TYPE],…]
- 
(DEPRECATED) Information about the type and number of nodes associated with the
cluster.
type (required): canonical identifier of the node type. count (required): number of nodes of this type in the cluster. custom_core_count: can be passed, but the value will be ignored. Updating custom core count is not supported. The --node-type-config option is deprecated; please use --update-nodes-config and --remove-nodes-config instead. 
- --remove-autoscaling-policy=- NAME
- Names of autoscaling policies that should be removed from the cluster
- --remove-nodes-config=- TYPE
- Type of node that should be removed from the cluster
- --update-nodes-config=[- count=- COUNT],[- type=- TYPE]
- 
Information about the type and number of nodes associated with the cluster.
type (required): canonical identifier of the node type. count (required): number of nodes of this type in the cluster. 
- 
At most one of these can be specified:
- --autoscaling-settings-from-file=- AUTOSCALING_SETTINGS_FROM_FILE
- A YAML file containing the autoscaling settings to be applied to the cluster
- --autoscaling-cool-down-period=- AUTOSCALING_COOL_DOWN_PERIOD
- Cool down period (in minutes) between consecutive cluster expansions/contractions
- --autoscaling-max-cluster-node-count=- AUTOSCALING_MAX_CLUSTER_NODE_COUNT
- Maximum number of nodes in the cluster
- --autoscaling-min-cluster-node-count=- AUTOSCALING_MIN_CLUSTER_NODE_COUNT
- Minimum number of nodes in the cluster
- --update-autoscaling-policy=[- consumed-memory-thresholds-scale-in=- CONSUMED-MEMORY-THRESHOLDS-SCALE-IN],[- consumed-memory-thresholds-scale-out=- CONSUMED-MEMORY-THRESHOLDS-SCALE-OUT],[- cpu-thresholds-scale-in=- CPU-THRESHOLDS-SCALE-IN],[- cpu-thresholds-scale-out=- CPU-THRESHOLDS-SCALE-OUT],[- granted-memory-thresholds-scale-in=- GRANTED-MEMORY-THRESHOLDS-SCALE-IN],[- granted-memory-thresholds-scale-out=- GRANTED-MEMORY-THRESHOLDS-SCALE-OUT],[- max-node-count=- MAX-NODE-COUNT],[- min-node-count=- MIN-NODE-COUNT],[- name=- NAME],[- node-type-id=- NODE-TYPE-ID],[- scale-out-size=- SCALE-OUT-SIZE],[- storage-thresholds-scale-in=- STORAGE-THRESHOLDS-SCALE-IN],[- storage-thresholds-scale-out=- STORAGE-THRESHOLDS-SCALE-OUT]
