Enabling Cross-Region Replication When Creating a Boot Volume

Learn how to enable cross-region replication when you create a new boot volume.

  • This task can't be performed using the Console.

  • Use the oci bv boot-volume create command and specify the --source-boot-volume-id, --compartment-id, "displayName", "availabilityDomain" and "xrrKmsKeyId" parameters to create boot volume with cross-region replication enabled:

    oci bv boot-volume create --source-boot-volume-id <volume_ID> --compartment-id <compartment_ID> --boot-volume-replicas '[{"displayName":"<display_name>","availabilityDomain":"<availability-domain_ID>","xrrKmsKeyId" : "<kms_key_ID>"}]'

    For example:

    oci bv boot-volume create --source-boot-volume-id ocid1.bootvolume.oc1.phx.<unique_ID> --compartment-id ocid1.compartment.oc1.phx.<unique_ID> --boot-volume-replicas '[{"displayName":"Sample_Replica","availabilityDomain":"pjBI:US-ASHBURN-AD-1","xrrKmsKeyId" : "ocid1.key.oc1.iad-ad-1.<unique_ID>"}]'

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

  • Run the CreateVolume operation and specify the bootVolumeReplicas attribute in the CreateVolumeDetails resource to enable cross-region replication for the new boot volume.
