Root Volume size defined via Service Offering
621+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
622+
623+
If a Service Offering is created with a root disk size, then resizing the Root volume is possible only by resizing the VMs service offering.
624+
1. Users cannot deploy VMs with custom root disk size when using such offerings
625+
2. Users cannot resize the VM root disk size when using such offerings
626+
3. the Root Volume of such VMs can only be resized when changing to another Service Offering with a Root disk size equals or larger than the current one.
627+
4. Users can change the VM offering to a service offering with a Root size of 0GB (default+), and then customize the volume size.
628+
629+
The following table shows possible combinations of Service offering supported resizing based on the offering Root disk size:
