Key Points
- The Block Volume service allows for dynamic configuration of performance levels for block volumes and boot volumes.
- Performance levels include Ultra High Performance, Balanced Performance, Higher Performance, and Lower Cost.
- When changing a block volume's performance to Ultra High Performance, the volume attachment should be multipath-enabled.
- Changing the performance of a volume may require detaching and reattaching the volume.
- There are limitations on the number of volumes that can have their performance level changed concurrently.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's Block Volume service allows for dynamic configuration of performance levels for block volumes and boot volumes. Performance levels include Ultra High Performance, Balanced Performance, Higher Performance, and Lower Cost. Changing a volume's performance requires detaching and reattaching it. Administrators can set security access policies. Only three volumes can be changed concurrently. Performance settings can be changed using the Console, CLI, or API.

The Block Volume service in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure allows for dynamic configuration of performance levels for block volumes and boot volumes. These performance levels include Ultra High Performance, Balanced Performance, Higher Performance, and Lower Cost. When changing a block volume's performance to Ultra High Performance, the volume attachment should be multipath-enabled and additional steps may be necessary to optimize performance. It is important to note that changing the performance level of a block volume requires detaching and reattaching the volume. Administrators can set policies to grant security access for managing block volumes and backups. Only three volumes can have their performance level changed concurrently per tenancy. Users can change the volume performance setting for existing block volumes and boot volumes using the Console, CLI, or API. The Block Volume service offers flexibility and efficiency in managing volume performance levels.

Changing the Performance of a Volume
The Block Volume service allows for dynamic configuration of performance levels for block volumes and boot volumes. The performance levels include Ultra High Performance, Balanced Performance, Higher Performance, and Lower Cost.
When configuring a block volume to the Ultra High Performance level, the volume attachment should be multipath-enabled. Additional steps may be required to optimize the volume's performance.
Changing a block volume's performance to Ultra High Performance from any other level requires detaching and then reattaching the volume.
To use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, security access must be granted through a policy. Administrators can set policies to allow specific groups to manage block volumes and backups.
When adjusting the VPUs/GB (volume performance units per gigabyte) setting for a volume, the volume's lifecycle state transitions to Provisioning. During this time, volume operations cannot be performed. Once the process is complete, the volume lifecycle state transitions back to Available.
Only three volumes can have their performance level changed concurrently per tenancy.
Using the Console, users can change the volume performance setting for existing block volumes and boot volumes. The default performance setting for block volumes is Balanced.
To change the volume performance for an existing block volume: 1. Open the navigation menu and click Storage. 2. Under Block Storage, click Block Volumes. 3. Click the block volume you want to change. 4. Click Edit. 5. Use the VPUs/GB slider to specify the new performance setting. 6. Click Save Changes.
To change the volume performance for an existing boot volume: 1. Open the navigation menu and click Storage. 2. Under Block Storage, click Block Volumes. 3. In the Block Storage menu on the sidebar, click Boot Volumes. 4. Click the boot volume you want to change. 5. Click Edit Size or Performance. 6. Choose the desired volume performance option. 7. Click Save Changes.
The CLI can also be used to change the performance level of a block volume or boot volume. The "volume update" operation or "boot-volume update" operation with the "vpus-per-gb" parameter can be used to update a volume's elastic performance setting.
The API provides the UpdateVolume and UpdateBootVolume operations to update the performance setting of block volumes and boot volumes, respectively. The performance setting is specified in VPUs (volume performance units) using the vpusPerGB attribute.
Overall, the Block Volume service allows for flexible and efficient management of volume performance levels. Users can easily adjust performance settings to meet their specific requirements.
