Tagging a Volume Group at Creation

Add metadata to a volume group when you first create it. This metadata enables you to define keys and values and to associate them with resources.

If you have permissions to create a resource, then 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. If you're not sure whether to apply tags, skip this option or ask an administrator. You can apply tags later.

    1. Open the navigation menu and click Storage. Under Block Storage, click Volume Groups.
    2. Click Create volume group.
    3. Click Show Tagging Options.
      • Tag namespace: To add a defined tag, select an existing namespace. To add a free-from tag, leave the value 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.
      • Add tag: Click to add another tag.
    4. Provide values for other fields as needed.
      See Creating a Volume Group.
    5. Click Create.

  • Use the oci bv volume-group create command and required parameters to tag a volume group at creation:

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

  • Run the CreateVolumeGroup operation to tag a volume group at creation. Include the definedTags and freeformTags attributes and their values.
