I recently had to expand the RAM of a web server, specifically, Dynamic cloud 1&1, I had an initial configuration of 4GB and 8GB have expanded.

The process is really easy from the panel of 1&1 (“Hardware Configuration”) and after a couple of hours with the server down to 1&1 Perform the requested changes with the server has started the new 8Gb memory hired.

My surprise :o has been to access the server Plesk panel (version 10.3.1) When we review in the window “Server Status” I've seen that still appeared the initial contract 4Gb:

After asking my friend David (thanks!) and the support 1&1 (I'm still waiting for reply) I found the solution in diving final Plesk Panel forums.

Just execute the following statement from the root of our server accessed by SSH:

/usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/scripts/setup-health-monitor.php

Now our Plesk Panel will know we have updated our hardware to 8GB and you can see the new ONFIGURATION in the same previous window “Server Status”:

Until next time!.
