Manage CDN Edge Server

Edit CDN Edge Server

Editing a CDN edge server means adjusting the resources allocated to it, changing its label and basic properties.

To edit a CDN edge server:

  1. Go to your Control Panel > CDN > Edge Servers menu.
  2. Click the label of the edge server you want to edit.
  3. On the page that appears, click the Actions button, point to Edge Server Options, and then select Edit Edge Server:
    • Label - change the label of the edge server
    • RAM - move the slider to change the value of RAM
    • CPU(s) - move the slider to change the value of CPU(s)
    • CPU Priority - move the slider to change the value of CPU priority

    • Use CPU Topology - move the slider to the right to enable the use of CPU topology

      Note that the server will be rebooted if you edit the resources allocated.
    • Add to Marketplace - move the slider to the right to add the edge server to the marketplace (this option is only available for edge servers that were not added to the marketplace earlier.)
  4. Click Save.

Please note that it is not allowed to change the primary IP address of an edge server, otherwise, the edge server will be completely removed from the CDN. To change the primary IP address, you need to delete the existing edge server and create a new one with a new IP address. However, you can add and remove a secondary IP address.

Edit the Size of CDN Edge Server Disk

To change the size of the disk of your edge server:

  1. Go to your Control Panel > CDN > Edge Servers menu.
  2. Click the label of the edge server you want to edit.
  3. On the page that appears, click the Storage tab and select Disks.
  4. On the following page, click the Actions button next to the disk and select Edit.
  5. In the dialog box, move the Size slider to change the size of the disk.
  6. Click Save Disk.

  7. When you receive the "Virtual server will be rebooted after any disk changes!" message, click OK.

    When resizing, a server is turned off. If the file is being cached on the edge server, the user will be able to get the cached/stale content. However, if the file is not yet cached on the edge server, the user receives a 502 or 504 error. After the successful completion of disk resizing, the server is turned on automatically.

Pause/Resume CDN Edge Server

To pause/resume your CDN edge server:

  1. Go to your Control Panel > CDN > Edge Servers menu.
  2. Under the label of the needed edge server label, click the Pause or Resume button.

It will take 15 minutes to apply. Once the server is paused, it will stop serving CDN content, regardless of the content from your own CDN resources or marketplace subscribers.
