create

Description

Creates a new boot volume in the specified compartment from an existing boot volume or a boot volume backup. For general information about boot volumes, see Boot Volumes. You may optionally specify a display name for the volume, which is simply a friendly name or description. It does not have to be unique, and you can change it. Avoid entering confidential information.

Usage

oci bv boot-volume create [OPTIONS]

Optional Parameters

--autotune-policies [complex type]

The list of autotune policies to be enabled for this volume.

This option is a JSON list with items of type AutotunePolicy. For documentation on AutotunePolicy please see our API reference: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/api/#/en/iaas/20160918/datatypes/AutotunePolicy. This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

--availability-domain [text]

The Availability Domain of the boot volume. Example: Uocm:PHX-AD-1.

This is optional when cloning a boot volume as the newly created boot volume will be created in the same Availability Domain as its source. This is required when restoring a volume from a backup.

--backup-policy-id [text]

If provided, specifies the ID of the boot volume backup policy to assign to the newly created boot volume. If omitted, no policy will be assigned.

--boot-volume-backup-id [text]

The OCID of the boot volume backup from which the data should be restored on the newly created boot volume. You can specify either this, –source-boot-volume-id or –source-volume-replica-id but not all.

--boot-volume-replicas [complex type]

The list of boot volume replicas to be enabled for this boot volume in the specified destination availability domains.

This option is a JSON list with items of type BootVolumeReplicaDetails. For documentation on BootVolumeReplicaDetails please see our API reference: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/api/#/en/iaas/20160918/datatypes/BootVolumeReplicaDetails. This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

--cluster-placement-group-id [text]

The clusterPlacementGroup Id of the volume for volume placement.

--compartment-id, -c [text]

The OCID of the compartment that contains the boot volume. This is optional when cloning a boot volume or restoring a boot volume from a backup. If it is not supplied then the boot volume will be created in the same compartment as the source.

--defined-tags [complex type]

Defined tags for this resource. Each key is predefined and scoped to a namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags.

Example:

{"Operations": {"CostCenter": "42"}}

This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

--display-name [text]

A user-friendly name. Does not have to be unique, and it’s changeable. Avoid entering confidential information.

--freeform-tags [complex type]

Free-form tags for this resource. Each tag is a simple key-value pair with no predefined name, type, or namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags.

Example:

{"Department": "Finance"}

This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

--from-json [text]

Provide input to this command as a JSON document from a file using the file://path-to/file syntax.

The --generate-full-command-json-input option can be used to generate a sample json file to be used with this command option. The key names are pre-populated and match the command option names (converted to camelCase format, e.g. compartment-id –> compartmentId), while the values of the keys need to be populated by the user before using the sample file as an input to this command. For any command option that accepts multiple values, the value of the key can be a JSON array.

Options can still be provided on the command line. If an option exists in both the JSON document and the command line then the command line specified value will be used.

For examples on usage of this option, please see our “using CLI with advanced JSON options” link: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliusing.htm#AdvancedJSONOptions

--is-auto-tune-enabled [boolean]

Specifies whether the auto-tune performance is enabled for this boot volume. This field is deprecated. Use the DetachedVolumeAutotunePolicy instead to enable the volume for detached autotune.

--kms-key-id [text]

The OCID of the Vault service key to assign as the master encryption key for the boot volume.

--max-wait-seconds [integer]

The maximum time to wait for the resource to reach the lifecycle state defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 1200 seconds.

--size-in-gbs [integer]

The size of the volume in GBs.

--source-boot-volume-id [text]

The OCID of a boot volume in the same Availability Domain from which the data should be cloned to the newly created boot volume. You can specify either this, –boot-volume-backup-id or –source-volume-replica-id but not all.

--source-volume-replica-id [text]

The OCID of the boot volume replica from which the data should be restored on the newly created boot volume. You can specify either this, –source-boot-volume-id or –boot-volume-backup-id –but not all.

--vpus-per-gb [integer]

The number of volume performance units (VPUs) that will be applied to this volume per GB, representing the Block Volume service’s elastic performance options. See Block Volume Performance Levels for more information.

Allowed values:

  • 10: Represents the Balanced option.

  • 20: Represents the Higher Performance option.

  • 30-120: Represents the Ultra High Performance option.

For performance autotune enabled volumes, it would be the Default(Minimum) VPUs/GB.

--wait-for-state [text]

This operation creates, modifies or deletes a resource that has a defined lifecycle state. Specify this option to perform the action and then wait until the resource reaches a given lifecycle state. Multiple states can be specified, returning on the first state. For example, --wait-for-state SUCCEEDED --wait-for-state FAILED would return on whichever lifecycle state is reached first. If timeout is reached, a return code of 2 is returned. For any other error, a return code of 1 is returned.

Accepted values are:

AVAILABLE, FAULTY, PROVISIONING, RESTORING, TERMINATED, TERMINATING
--wait-interval-seconds [integer]

Check every --wait-interval-seconds to see whether the resource has reached the lifecycle state defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 30 seconds.

--xrc-kms-key-id [text]

The OCID of the Vault service key which is the master encryption key for the boot volume cross region backups, which will be used in the destination region to encrypt the backup’s encryption keys. For more information about the Vault service and encryption keys, see Overview of Vault service and Using Keys.

Example using required parameter

Copy the following CLI commands into a file named example.sh. Run the command by typing “bash example.sh” and replacing the example parameters with your own.

Please note this sample will only work in the POSIX-compliant bash-like shell. You need to set up the OCI configuration and appropriate security policies before trying the examples.
