The RestAPI calls for creating an OACSnapshot requires an existing OCI Storage bucket for storing the snapshot. The following are the steps I followed to create my storage bucket
From the Cloud Home page
- Click hamburger stack in upper left corner
- From menu select Storage
- Below Object Storage & Archive Storage select Buckets
- Change to desired Compartment
- Click Create Bucket
Click on bucket name
Click Copy to get OCID and paste to Notepad for later
Below Objects create a Folder in Storage Bucket
- Click More Actions
- Select Create New Folder
Provide a name for the folder and click Create at bottom of the screen
The new folder is now in the Objects
I now have an OCI Storage Bucket for my OAC Snapshots.
