Modifying a service plan

You can use the Service Plans panel on the Storage page to view and modify the configuration of any existing service plan. At any time, you can modify any service plan to:

Change the service plan name or description. Note that when you change the name, the original name remains associated with any applicable tenants and namespaces. The result is that these tenants and namespaces are associated with an undefined service plan, and HCP uses the Default service plan for them. If you subsequently create a new service plan with the original name, that plan then applies to those tenants and namespaces.

Change the ingest tier.

Add one or more new storage tiers to the storage tiering strategy that’s defined in the service plan.

Delete one or more existing storage tiers from the plan.

Change any configuration settings used for any given storage tier that’s defined in the service plan.

When you change the storage tiering strategy or the data protection strategy that’s defined in a service plan, objects that complied with the original service plan requirements may not be in compliance with the new ones. The next time the Storage Tiering service processes such an object, the service moves, copies, deletes, or changes the object as needed to comply with the new storage tiering strategy and/or to comply with the new data protection plan.

Assign the service plan to one or more tenants.

Note: When you assign a service plan to an existing tenant, that service plan replaces the one that was previously in effect for the tenant. Similar to a change in the configuration for an existing service plan for a namespace, when you change the service plan that’s assigned to a tenant, the new storage tiering strategy and data protection strategy do not take effect until the next time the Storage Tiering service runs.
