Symptoms

When a VM instance is created or rebooted using an API call or from the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) console, this error message is displayed:

Changes

DB/VMs are dynamically provisioned. If an AD reaches a minimum threshold, then new hypervisors (physical servers) are automatically provisioned.

There may be some occasions where the additional capacity has not finished provisioning before the existing capacity is exhausted; but when retried after 15 minutes, the required shape may become available.

Alternatively, selecting a different shape, AD, or region will almost certainly have the required capacity. You can try a new region and it will be successful.

• How to choose another availability domain or a fault domain? How to change to another region?

Meaning that you can choose another region than the one you're facing issues restarting the VM/DB. So you can select a different region other than you are trying or Availability Domain (AD 1, 2, or 3) as a workaround.

• How to swap the workload to another core?

For example, this means that you can choose different shape/s like “Standard E4”, etc instead of the previous one, which is “VM.Standard.E3.1.Micro”

For more information on how to achieve, see Flexible Shapes.
