Creating an Oracle Storage Cloud Service is necessary if you want to enable cloud backup on your Oracle Database Cloud Service instance.
Creating an Oracle Database Cloud Service instance with cloud backup is required if you decide to create an Oracle SOA Cloud Service instance.
Thus, creating an Oracle Storage Cloud Service is relatively important. Unfortunately, there is no front-end GUI that allows you to do this. This blog post describes how to do it.
Login to Unix Server
1. Log in to a linux server.
2. Ensure that you have curl available on this server, as you will use it to invoke a REST web service.
Request an Authentication Token
3. The format of the curl command is as follows:
curl -v -s -X GET -H "X-Storage-User: Storage-<Identity Domain>:<Oracle Account>" -H "X-Storage-Pass: <Oracle Account Password>" https://<Identity Domain>.storage.oraclecloud.com/auth/v1.0
4. For example:
root@demo:/root> curl -v -s -X GET -H "X-Storage-User: Storage-ahmeddomain:ahmed@raastech.com" -H "X-Storage-Pass: mypassword" https://ahmeddomain.storage.oraclecloud.com/auth/v1.0
5. The output will look like this. Note the values highlighted in yellow. You will use this authentication token in subsequent requests.

Create a Cloud Storage Instance
6. The format of the curl command is as follows:
curl -v -s -X PUT -H "X-Auth-Token: <Authorization Token>" https://storage.us2.oraclecloud.com/v1/Storage-<Identity Domain>/<New Container Name>
7. For example:
root@demo:/root> curl -v -s -X PUT -H "X-Auth-Token: AUTH_tk2d476138c79fba6ac4cb559b3b9e" https://storage.us2.oraclecloud.com/v1/Storage-ahmeddomain/MyContainer1
8. The output will look like this. Note the values highlighted in yellow to confirm creation.

9. The format of the curl command is as follows:

10. For example:

Configure Backup and Recovery Options
Keep in mind that the name of an your Oracle Storage Cloud Service container takes the form <Storage Service Name>-<Identity Domain>/<Container Name>.
For example...
Cloud Storage Container: Storage-ahmeddomain/MyContainer1
Cloud Storage User Name: ahmed@raastech.com (your Oracle Account username)
Cloud Storage Password: mypassword (your Oracle Account password)
- Oracle Storage Cloud Service (2016)
