Deployment for IBM cloud
Overview
This article covers the virtual machine requirements, including memory and data storage, for the deployment of the Delphix Engine on IBM Cloud. Once the requirements listed on this page are reviewed, refer to the next articles on GCP deployment:
Delphix disk storage capabilities remain seamlessly operable. There are no additional limitations to your storage, unless otherwise imposed by the [respective] Hypervisor or Cloud environment.
Supported profiles
The following is a list of profiles that are supported to deploy Delphix on IBM Cloud.

Port Requirements
Using the Delphix Engine for OCI will require connections to source and target database servers. Such connections require various ports to be open, enabling communications. For a detailed list of the network and port requirements, click the link that corresponds with the relevant database platform.

Additional IBM configuration notes
Expandable volume is a beta feature that is available for evaluation and testing purposes. This feature is available in the US South, US East, London, and France regions. Contact an IBM Sales representative if interested in getting access at https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vpc?topic=vpc-expanding-block-storage-volumes .
After performing an “online” resize/expansion of a storage volume using IBM Cloud tools, then use the Delphix sysadmin interface to “Expand” the storage device; otherwise, the newly allocated storage space, from the resize/expansion, will not be used.
Resize/expansion of a storage volume using IBM Cloud is not supported while the Delphix engine is in a stopped state.
Removing a storage volume should be done while the machine is running. First use the Delphix sysadmin CLI interface to “Unconfigure” the storage device, then remove it from IBM Cloud.
