Rescaling a cluster on the ACM

Select a cluster, then use the Actions > Rescale menu to bring up the Rescale Cluster window, then in the Desired Cluster Size, change the Number of Shards from 1 to 2 then press OK, then CONFIRM.

The nodes online pill box will show grey, 2/4 nodes online, then after several minutes, turn green showing 4/4 nodes online. If you do not see the grey 2/4 nodes online, and the nodes online is green and shows 2/2 nodes online, try the rescale operation again.
