Creating a Capacity Request

Create a capacity request in OCI Control Center

OCI Control Center allows large customers to place requests for capacity expansion orders through the API or Oracle Cloud Console. If you're a customer belonging to a customer group, then you can create requests from the latest availability catalog published in the scope of the customer group. When you add resources from the availability catalog, ensure the total resource quantity doesn't exceed the available quantity and the capacity constraint. For example, if the available quantity of "Compute" resource in "A" tenancy is 600 and the capacity constraint is set as 300, you can add only up to 300 resources. If the quality is more, then the system displays an error message and doesn't allow you to add resources.

    1. On the Capacity Requests list page, select Create capacity requests. If you need help finding the list page, see Listing Capacity Requests.
    2. In the Create capacity request page, provide the following details:
      • Request state: Select New.
      • Namespace: Select Compute as the namespace for the capacity request.
      • Region: Select a region.
      • Display name: Provide a description for the capacity request.
      • Availability domain: Specify an Availability domain.
      • Expected capacity handover date: Select an expected capacity handover date. The date options get auto populated from the availability catalog.
    3. (Optional) Tag the new capacity request.
      • Tag namespace: To add a defined tag, select an existing namespace. If you're adding a free-from tag, leave this field blank.
      • Tag key: To add a defined tag, select an existing tag key. To add a free-form tag, type the key name that you want.
      • Tag value: Type the tag value that you want.
    4. To create the request and submit it immediately, select Create and Submit.

      OCI assigns a name to the request and submits it for Oracle internal team to review the request. You can also view the request details in the Capacity requests summary table.

    5. To only create the request, select Create.

      On the Capacity requests page, you can select the name of the new capacity request to view its details and select Submit from the Actions menu (Actions Menu) to submit the request.
