Ordinary VMs

{{ $t('productDocDetail.updateTime') }}: 2025-12-18

Applicable Scenarios

Ordinary VMs refer to general-purpose VMs on HCI. These VMs provide a complete range of basic features and are suitable for most business scenarios that do not have special requirements on hardware IO, including web servers (such as Nginx and Apache servers), office automation (OA) systems, lightweight databases (such as MySQL single instances), file services (such as FTP and SMB), and development and test environments. Ordinary VMs support full lifecycle management, from dynamic specification adjustments to migration, HA, and backup, and can be deployed efficiently without special hardware.

Feature

Supported or Not

Offline Specification Change

Yes. You can change CPU, memory, and disk specifications, and switch to other VM types, such as GPU-enabled VMs and VMs with Turbo mode enabled.

Online Specification Change

Yes. You can increase or decrease the number of CPUs and the memory size, expand the capacity of disks (VirtIO disks), and add NICs.

Cold Migration (Run Location)

Yes. You can migrate powered-off or suspended VMs across nodes. (The destination node must have sufficient resources.)

Live Migration (Run Location)

Yes. You can migrate powered-on VMs that are not mounted with any special hardware across nodes within a cluster, and migrate powered-on VMs across nodes that use the same architecture (such as x86 or Arm) in different clusters.

HA

Yes. VMs will be automatically migrated to another node when the node where they currently reside fails, provided that sufficient cluster resources are reserved.

VM Snapshot

Yes. You can create disk based or storage based snapshots, with the option to include or exclude memory data (vmTools is required).

Cloning

Yes. Full cloning, instant full cloning, and linked cloning are supported, and you can change the VM specifications after the cloning.

Backup

Yes. You can configure backup, CDP, and DR policies to enable VM backup.

Disk Management

Yes. Dynamically provisioned, thinly provisioned, and pre-allocated disks are supported, and you can encrypt disks and reclaim disk space (VirtIO disks).
