Creating a Capacity Request

Create a capacity request in OCI Control Center

As a customer, you can create a capacity expansion request for resources that are available in the latest published catalog. When you create a request, you must select a region and the Availability domain for the resources to be provisioned. You can then proceed to add the resources that you want to order. When you add resources, 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 or less than 300. If the quality is more than 300, then the system displays an error and doesn't allow you to add resources.

    1. Open the navigation menu, click Governance and Administration, and then click Control Center.
    2. Click Capacity Requests.
    3. On the Capacity requests page, click Create capacity request.
    4. In the Create capacity request panel, provide the following details:
      1. Select request type as New to create new capacity requests for resources. Other available request types are Transfer and Forecast.
      2. Select Compute as the namespace for the capacity request.
      3. Select a region.
      4. Provide a description for the capacity request.
      5. Specify an Availability domain.
      6. Select an expected capacity handover date. The date options are prefilled from the availability catalog.
    5. After you specify the expected capacity handover date, provide details of the demand quantity for each resource.
      Note

      Demand quantity can't exceed the available quantity and total demand quantity can't exceed the capacity constraint.
    6. Click Create and Submit.
      Note

      After you submit, OCI creates and assigns a name to the request and you can view the request details in the Capacity requests summary table.
    7. Click Create and submit the request post creation.
