vRA Cluster Resource Expansion

Hi everyone. I stood up a vRA cluster (medium size, with 12CPU/48GM RAM per node) and was wondering if there are any issues increasing the resources at this stage. Cluster has been stood up for about a year or so, and I notice I am getting CPU lockups within the console of the nodes, and have been getting high CPU utilization alarms within vSphere. I would like to know if I can safely expand to, say, an extra-large profile for example (24CPU/96GB RAM). This cluster was deployed via LCM, so my plan was to shut the cluster down via LCM, change the resources, then power back on via LCM. I also have load balancing setup for this cluster, and within NSX, I notice that I am constantly having issue with my vra-https virtual server and in turn, my VRA server pool (node 1 of 3 shows as degraded). I am not sure giving this cluster more resources would solve the issue, but to me, it seems like it may be under-provisioned. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I may have another issue, so if anyone has seen something similar, would love to hear what the cause and the fix was. Thanks,

Thread reported to moderators, it needs moving to the area for vRA since it's not about a vSphere security advisory.
