Request a Limit Increase for Multicloud Resources (OCI)

  1. Open the Console, then select the region you want for the limit increase. See Get to Know the Console and Working in Regions for more information.
  2. Open the navigation menu  and select Governance & Administration. Under Tenancy Management, select Limits, Quotas and Usage.
  3. Select the following values:
    • Service: Database
    • Scope: Pick the OCI availability domain that you want to increase limits in.
    • Subscription: Select your Oracle Database@Google Cloud subscription.
    • Compartment: Select the root compartment for your OCI tenancy.
  4. In the table of resource limits, note the Service Limit, Usage and Available values for the resource you need a limit increase for.
    For example, if you're interested in Exadata storage servers, the Service Limit displays the current maximum number of storage servers that you can provision in the selected availability domain. The Usage value shows the number of storage servers you have already provisioned, and the Available value shows the number of servers you can still provision with the current service limit.
  5. To open a service limit increase ticket, select the Actions menu (three dots) for the row that displays the resource you're interested in, then select Open Support Request.
  6. On the Support Options panel, select Request a Limit Increase.
  7. In the Support Chat panel, select Limit Increase, then select Limit Increase again at the bottom of the displayed text.
  8. On the Support Options page, select the Limit Increase tab.
  9. Select the following values:
    • Service Category: Database
    • Resource: Select the resource that you want to increase limits for. For example: "Exadata X9M Database Server Count"
    • Subscription: Select your Oracle Database@Google Cloud subscription.
  10. In the Availability domains section, enter a new service limit value for the availability domain that you want to increase the limit in.

    The number you enter becomes the new maximum value for the limit. For example: If your current limit is 20, and you enter 25, your new limit becomes 25 (an increase of 5).

    If you don't know which availability domain to select, use the first displayed availability domain. For example: hqkx:US-ASHBURN-AD-1 is one of the three availability domains for the OCI US East (Ashburn) region.
