Changing a Load Balancer's Bandwidth Shape

• Console
• CLI
• API

• 1. On the Load balancers list page, select the load balancer that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the load balancer, see Listing Load Balancers.
  2. On the details page, select Update shape.

     The Update shape dialog box opens. The options displayed vary on what type of existing bandwidth size option you're using.

     • Changing a flexible shape: Enter the values for the Minimum bandwidth and Maximum bandwidth shape sizes you want changed.

       Note
       
       

       Using flexible bandwidth shapes for Government accounts can result in overages if the pre-paid shape sizes are exceeded.

       To specify a dynamic shape size, for example 500 Mbps, set the minimum and maximum sliders to the same value.

     • Changing a dynamic shape: Select the new bandwidth of the load balancer from the Choose shape size list. The existing bandwidth size of the load balancer is unavailable to select.

       You can switch from a dynamic shape size to a flexible shape by checking the Use a flexible load balancer option and specifying your shape size using the minimum and maximum sliders.

       Note
       
       

       After you have switched to a flexible shape, you can't revert to a dynamic shape.

     • Select Save changes. Changing the bandwidth size of the load balancer requires resetting all existing sessions of the load balancer.

     • Select Confirm to continue.

• Use the oci lb load-balancer update-load-balancer-shape command and required parameters to change a load balancer's bandwidth shape:
