Cloning a Volume Group

Clone a volume group in the Block Volume service.

    1. Open the navigation menu and click Storage. Under Block Storage, click Volume Groups.

    2. In the Volume Groups list, click the Actions menu (Actions Menu) of the volume group that you want to clone, and then select Create volume group clone.

    3. Select the compartment to create the clone in.

    4. (Optional) Select the cluster placement group in which to clone the volume to.

      Note

      The Cluster Placement Group control only appears in the Console if Cluster Placement Groups are enabled for the tenancy, and you've created and activated a cluster placement group with the capability added for volume resources, see Cluster Placement Groups for Block Volume.

    5. Enter a name for the new volume group.

    6. Click Create.

  • Use the oci bv volume-group create command and required parameters to clone a volume group from an existing volume group:

    oci bv volume-group create --compartment-id <compartment_ID> --availability-domain <external_AD> --source-details <Source_details_JSON>

    For example:

    oci bv volume-group create --compartment-id ocid1.compartment.oc1..<unique_ID> --availability-domain ABbv:PHX-AD-1 --source-details '{"type": "volumeGroupId", "volumeGroupId": "ocid1.volumegroup.oc1.phx.<unique_ID>"}'

    For a complete list of flags and variable options for CLI commands, see the Command Line Reference.

  • Run the CreateVolumeGroup operation to clone a volume group from an existing volume group.
