Creating a Cluster Placement Group

Create a cluster placement group in which you can colocate resources to support low-latency networking use cases.

    1. On the Cluster placement groups list page, select Create. If you need help finding the list page, see Listing Cluster Placement Groups.
    2. On the Capability check page, select an availability domain.
    3. Then, either specify the type of resources this cluster placement group supports or, if you have one, the unique code you obtained from OCI for the purposes of creating a cluster placement group.
    4. (Optional) Specify the type or resources that you intend to add to the cluster placement group by doing one or more of the following:
      • To add Compute instances and instance pools, under compute, select general.
      • To add Block Volume resources, under block-storage, select volume.
    5. Select Check capabilities. If the selected resources aren't supported in the selected availability domain, repeat step 4 to select a different availability domain, and then try again.
    6. (Optional) If you have a unique code from the OCI account representative for the tenancy for large capacity cluster placement groups, select Show advanced options, enter the code in the Unique Identifier box, and then select Apply code.
    7. Select Next.
    8. On the Details page, enter a display name for the cluster placement group. You can't change this name later. Avoid entering confidential information.
    9. Enter a description for the cluster placement group. Avoid entering confidential information.
    10. Select the compartment for the cluster placement group.
    11. (Optional) To add tags, select Show advanced options.

      If you have permissions to create a resource, you also have permissions to apply free-form tags to that resource. To apply a defined tag, you must have permissions to use the tag namespace. For more information about tagging, see Resource Tags.

      You can also assign tags to a resource after creating it.

    12. Select Next.
    13. On the Confirmation page, confirm the details of the new cluster placement group, and then select Create cluster placement group.

  • Use the create command and required parameters to create a cluster placement group:

    oci cpg cluster-placement-group create --availability-domain <availability_domain> --compartment-id <compartment_OCID> --description <description_of_the_cluster_placement_group> --type <type_of_cluster_placement_group>

    You must specify either the --capabilities or --placement-instruction. You can't update the capabilities supported by the cluster placement group after you create it.

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

  • Run the CreateClusterPlacementGroup operation to create a cluster placement group.
