Import the Gateway Custom Image

Language:

Follow this procedure to import the gateway custom image from Oracle using the URL provided. By importing the image in this way, you copy the required .vmdk image directly from the Oracle OCI tenant using a secure URL created by Oracle in OCI.

Tip - The URL is in a format look similar to the following: https://objectstorage.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/p/gnoqkwdxaVhUTJ1KB5-p6kZD5BHzqtADVZfYFdMOawY/n/oracleacs/b/newoasgbucket/o/GW11.1.1-985-b288.UEFI-UEK4.vmdk.

To import the custom image using the OCI console, perform the following steps in the OCI web user interface:

Open the navigation menu.
Under Core Infrastructure, go to Compute and click Custom Images.

Note - For more information, refer to the relevant OCI documentation here.
Click Import Image.
Select the compartment name you want to import the image to.
Enter a name for the image.
Specify the Object Storage URL where the image is stored. You need to specify the pre-authenticated request URL provided.
Select the image format, .vmdk.
Select EMULATED MODE.
Ignore the other fields (there is no requirement to add tags.)
Click Import Image.
Once you click Import Image, you'll see the imported image in the Custom Images list for the compartment, with a status of IMPORTING. Once the import completes successfully, the status will change to AVAILABLE. If the status does not change, or no entry appears in the Custom Images list, the import failed. If the import failed, make sure you have read access to the Object Storage object, and that the object contains a supported image.
