Scaling out a service tier is the process of adding additional virtual machines to a tier of a
service as a method of increasing capacity. When creating a tier in a service template, you
configure whether the tier can be scaled out. You also configure the minimum and maximum
number of VMs that can be deployed in the tier. VMM will not prevent you from scaling out
a tier beyond the number of VMs that you specify here, but once you exceed the limit you
configured, the tier and the service will display a Needs Attention status in the VMM console's
VMs And Services workspace.
To scale out a service tier, perform the following steps:
1.
In the VMs And Services workspace of the VMM console, click the private cloud or host
group to which you deployed the service.
On the VMM console ribbon, click Services.
2.
In the Services pane, click the service that you wish to scale out.
3.
In the Service tab of the VMM console ribbon, click Scale Out.
4.
On the Select Tier page of the Scale Out Tier Wizard, in the list of tiers, select the tier
that you want to scale out.
