Enabling Detached Volume Autotuning for an Existing Boot Volume

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

    1. On the Boot Volumes list page, select the boot volume you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the boot volume, see Listing Boot Volumes.
    2. On the details page, select Edit.
    3. In the Volume Size and Performance section, select the Detached volume auto-tune slider so that it changes from Off to On.
    4. Select Save Changes.

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

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

    For example:

    oci bv boot-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 UpdateBootVolume operation and specify the autotunePolicies and DetachedVolumeAutotunePolicy attributes in the UpdateBootVolumeDetails resource to enable performance-based autotuning.
