### Changing Resources Allocation for Dedicated Server Node

A dedicated server configuration and resources allocation is stored in Parallels Business Automation - Standard database for reference purposes, because online connection to a dedicated server is not established. A server configuration you enter in the database helps selecting a server when is is needed to assign a server to a subscription, in this case it is easy to check whether a server configuration matches the ordered one. In addition, if a server configuration is upgraded or IP address is assigned, you can easily update its configuration description in the database.

To change resources allocation for a Dedicated server:

1. Open the Service Director - Servers Manager - Dedicated Servers.
2. Select the needed server by clicking on its short name and then select the Resources tab.
3. Click the Edit button.

   IP Addresses section serves for IP addresses allocation:

   1. To add an IP address to the server, click the Add button. The list of available IP addresses appears in the popup window. If no IP addresses are available, then an IP pool assigned for Dedicated servers is either used up or is absent, in such a situation, check this in IP Manager > IP Pools.
   2. Select an IP address or several ones by clicking on an IP in the IPs list shown in the popup window. After IPs are selected, close the popup. If you would like to cancel the assignment for one or more IPs, click on these IPs and then click the Remove button.
   3. If you want to send a e-mail notification to a Hardware Node owner about a new IP address assignment, you can check the Notify the dedicated server owner about the IP addresses assignment box.
4. Hardware section serves for server hardware configuration. You can specify the most general properties like hard disk size (Hard Disk options), RAM size (Memory options), processor type (Processor options). To specify configuration, set the option button to the needed value. If no variants match, set the option button to None.
5. Software section allows selecting the Operating System installed at a server. Set the option button to the needed variant. If no variants match, or no OS is installed, set the option button to None.
6. Other Options allows selecting add-ons. Check or clear the box next to an add-on name to select or unselect it.
7. To save changes, click the Save button, or, to exit without saving changes, click Cancel.

To release IP address(es) assigned to a third-party Hardware Node:
