Login level required for this task: Systems or Operations

Increasing resource limits means to increase the server resources available to a reseller. When you increase a reseller's resource limits, you enable the reseller to sell additional resources on your server.

Decreasing resource limits from resellers means to take server resources back from a reseller.

To increase a reseller's resource limits:

  1. On the Resellers navigation panel, click List Resellers.

  2. On the Resellers page, click in the Action column of the reseller whose resources you want to increase.

  3. On the reseller's option bar, click Resources.

  4. From the Pool drop-down list, choose the pool you want to use, then click Refresh. If you select All Pools, the values in the Total column reflect all available capacity.

  5. Below the Service form, click Increase Resource Limits. If the service for which you want to increase limits is not displayed, you need to add the service to the reseller before you can increase resources.

  6. On the service page, set the resource information for the service. For more information about resources for specific services, see:
