Changing the Performance of an Existing Boot Volume

Learn how to dynamically configure the performance level for a boot volume.

If you're changing the boot volume's performance to the Ultra High Performance level, see Boot Volumes and Ultra High Performance for more details.

    1. On the Boot Volumes list page, find the boot volume that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the boot volumes, see Listing Boot Volumes.
    2. From the Actions menu (three dots) for the boot volume, select Edit.
    3. In the Edit boot volume panel, for VPUs type, select the performance setting that you want.
      You can also specify the VPUs/GB value for the performance setting in Default VPUs/GB.
    4. Select Save changes.

  • Run the oci bv boot-volume update command and specify one of the following volume performance unit (VPU) amounts in the vpus-per-gb parameter to update a block volume's elastic performance setting:

    • 0: Represents the Lower Cost setting. Applies to block volumes only.
    • 10: Represents the Balanced setting. Applies to both block volumes and boot volumes.
    • 20: Represents the Higher Performance setting. Applies to both block volumes and boot volumes.
    • 30 to 120: Represents the Ultra High Performance. Applies to both block volumes and boot volumes.

      If you're changing a boot volume's performance to the Ultra High Performance level, see also Boot Volumes and Ultra High Performance.

    For example:

    oci bv boot-volume update --boot-volume-id <boot_volume_OCID> --vpus-per-gb 20

  • Run the UpdateBootVolume operation and specify one of the following volume performance unit (VPU) amounts in the vpusPerGB attribute for the UpdateBootVolumeDetails resource to update a boot volume's elastic performance setting:

    • 0: Represents the Lower Cost setting, applies to block volumes only.
    • 10: Represents the Balanced setting, applies to both block volumes and boot volumes.
    • 20: Represents the Higher Performance setting, applies to both block volumes and boot volumes.
    • 30 to 120: Represents the Ultra High Performance setting, applies to both block volumes and boot volumes.

    If you are changing the boot volume's performance to the Ultra High Performance level, see Boot Volumes and Ultra High Performance for additional details.
