    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.

  • Run the oci bv 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.

    For example:

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

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

  • 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:
