Modifying a Cloud Target (CLI)

A cloud target's name and web proxy settings can be modified. Optionally, the write and read limit bandwidths can also be changed.

  1. Go to configuration services cloud targets.
    hostname:configuration services cloud targets>
  2. Find and select the cloud target to modify, and enter get to view its properties.
    hostname:configuration services cloud target-000> get
    Properties:
                          name = oci-phoenix
                      location = https://objectstorage.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com
                          user = ocid1.user.oc1..aaa56chx6rcm53g4tij74pymqffm4gsxlrhnq
                        bucket = test
                       tenancy = ocid1.tenancy.oc1..aaaaao6lmlzrvmk2x3uv7cglgxpan5ldsmq
                           key = true
                      proxy_on = true
                    proxy_host = www-proxy.us.example.com:80
                    proxy_user = 
                proxy_password = 
                        online = true
                            id = 77e3a201-b4e0-4a2c-9f9d-aee21eda9954
  3. To modify the properties, use the set command, such as set name=oci-phoenix-test. The following properties can be modified:
    • name - Your name for this cloud target, which must be unique for your system.

    • proxy_on - Set this to true to use a proxy for system communications with the web, and complete the property for proxy_host (host port name and number). The proxy_user (user name) and proxy_password (user password) properties are optional. Example for proxy_host: www-proxy.us.example.com:80.

    • writelimit (optional) - Set to a value and unit of measurement to limit the traffic write bandwidth when uploading a cloud backup to the cloud target. For example, 5M/s limits writes to the cloud target to 5 megabytes per second.

    • readlimit (optional) - Set to a value and unit of measurement to limit the traffic read bandwidth when restoring a cloud backup from the cloud target. For example, 4M/s limits reads from the cloud target to 4 megabytes per second.

  4. When done, enter commit.
    hostname:configuration services cloud target-000 (uncommitted)> commit
