Specifying the Minimum Storage Capacity of an Import Appliance

Specify the minimum storage capacity for an import appliance within the appliance request.

You can specify the minimum storage capacity in terabytes of the appliance used when you first create an appliance request, or by updating an existing one. After you submit your request, an Oracle representative will work with you to obtain the device best suited to your needs.

Using the Console

  • Creating a New Import Appliance Request: Select the minimum device storage capacity (when there is more than one option) that meets your needs from the Minimum Storage Capacity list. The amounts displayed can vary by region. See Data Transfer Appliance Specifications for more information. See Requesting an Import Appliance for more information on using the Console to create an import appliance request.

  • Updating an Existing Import Appliance Request: Open the Details page for the import appliance and click Edit. The Edit Transfer Appliance dialog box opens. Select a different storage capacity from the Minimum Storage Capacity list. See Getting an Import Appliance's Details for more information.

    Note

    You can only edit the minimum device storage when the status is Requested.

Using the CLI

  • Creating a New Appliance Request: Include the --minimum-storage-capacity-in-terabytes parameter when running the oci dts appliance request CLI to create an appliance request. This is an optional parameter. See Requesting an Import Appliance for more information on using the CLI to create an application request.

  • Updating an Existing Appliance Request:

    Use the oci dts appliance update-minimum-storage-capacity command and required parameters to change or add the minimum storage capacity for an existing application request.

    oci dts appliance update-minimum-storage-capacity --job-id job_id 
--appliance-label appliance-label --minimum-storage-capacity-in-terabytes minimum-storage-capacity-in-terabytes [OPTIONS]

    For a complete list of flags and variable options for CLI commands, see the Command Line Reference.

    Note

    You can only edit the minimum device storage when the status is Requested.
