Synopsis

  • This module allows the user to create, update and delete a VolumeGroup resource in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

  • For state=present, creates a new volume group in the specified compartment. A volume group is a collection of volumes and may be created from a list of volumes, cloning an existing volume group, or by restoring a volume group backup. You may optionally specify a display name for the volume group, which is simply a friendly name or description. It does not have to be unique, and you can change it. Avoid entering confidential information.

  • For more information, see Volume Groups.

  • This resource has the following action operations in the oracle.oci.oci_blockstorage_volume_group_actions module: change_compartment.

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

If the key is encrypted with a pass-phrase, the api_user_key_pass_phrase option must also be provided.
api_user_key_pass_phrase
string
Passphrase used by the key referenced in api_user_key_file, if it is encrypted. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_KEY_PASS_PHRASE variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the key passphrase is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location).

  • instance_obo_user
  • resource_principal
The type of authentication to use for making API requests. By default auth_type="api_key" based authentication is performed and the API key (see api_user_key_file) in your config file will be used. If this 'auth_type' module option is not specified, the value of the OCI_ANSIBLE_AUTH_TYPE, if any, is used. Use auth_type="instance_principal" to use instance principal based authentication when running ansible playbooks within an OCI compute instance.
