Listing Volume Groups

List volume groups in the Block Volume service.

    1. Open the navigation menu  and select Storage. Under Block Storage, select Volume Groups.

      The Volume Groups list page opens. All volume groups in the selected compartment are displayed in a table.

    2. To view the volume groups in a different compartment, use the Compartment filter to switch compartments.

      You must have permission to work in a compartment to see the resources in it. If you're not sure which compartment to use, contact an administrator. For more information, see Understanding Compartments.

    Filtering List Results

    Use filters to limit the volume groups in the list. Perform one of the following actions depending on the options that you see:

    • From the Search and Filter box above the list table, select one or more filters and specify the values that you want to use to narrow the list. In general, the filters correspond to the columns shown in the list table, although some filters represent attributes that aren't shown in the table. The Compartment filter is always displayed next to Applied filters.
    • On the left side of the list page, select a value from one of the available filters, such as compartment, state, or tags.

    Change the order of the items in the list table by using the sort icons next to the column names.

    For information about searching for resources and managing the columns in the list table, if those features are available, see Listing Resources.

    Actions

    In the list table, select the name of a volume group to open its details page, where you can view its status and perform other tasks.

    To perform an action on a volume group directly from the list table, select an available option from the Actions menu in the row for that volume group:

    To create a volume group, select Create volume group.

  • Use the oci bv volume-group list command and required parameters to list volume groups:

    oci bv volume-group list --compartment-id <compartment_ID>

    For example:

    oci bv volume-group list --compartment-id ocid1.compartment.oc1..<unique_ID>

    For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.

  • Run the ListVolumeGroups operation and specify the compartmentId parameter to list volume groups.
