Enabling Detached Volume Autotuning for an Existing Block Volume

Learn how to enable detached volume autotuning to automatically adjust an existing block volume's performance based on attachment to or detachment from an instance.

    1. On the Block Volumes list page, find the volume that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the volumes, see Listing Volumes.
    2. From the Actions menu (three dots) for the volume, select Edit.
    3. In the Edit block volume (or Edit volume) panel, under Target volume performance, turn on Detached volume auto-tune.
    4. Select Save changes.

  • Use the oci bv volume update command specify the --volume-id, compartment-id, and --autotune-policies parameters to enable detached volume autotuning:

    oci bv volume update --volume-id <volume_ID> --compartment-id <compartment_ID> --autotune-policies <auto-tune_policies_JSON>'

    For example:

    oci bv volume update --volume-id ocid1.volume.oc1.phx.<unique_ID> --compartment-id ocid1.compartment.oc1.phx.<unique_ID> --autotune-policies '[{"autotune-type": "DETACHED_VOLUME"}]''

    For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.

  • Run the UpdateVolume operation and specify the autotunePolicies attribute in the UpdateVolumeDetails resource to enable detached volume autotuning.
