II. Manual operation steps
After Elastic Cloud upgrades the C drive size, the system will not automatically expand the C drive size. You need to follow the operations below to complete the expansion. Before expansion, please disable the server's virtual memory and stop the mysql and mssql services, to avoid data corruption caused by expansion.


Manual expansion operation for Win2008 or Win2012:

First, please check whether the partition you want to extend has virtual memory configured. If so, please disable the virtual memory first and restart.
