Accessing detached E5.Flex Boot Volume under Free Tier

edited May 2, 2025 1:33PM in OCI - General 3 comments

Summary:

How to access the file system of a detached E5.Flex Boot Volume under the Free Tier when the availability domain (AD) it was created under doesn't have any free tier VMs available for creation?

Content (please ensure you mask any confidential information):

I created a E5.Flex system in availability domain one (AD-1) when I initially created my free tier account. As a result of being under the free tier, the system was ultimately terminated. I removed the VM, but retained the boot volume. I would like to access the files on the boot volume.

AD-1 doesn't have any free tier VMs available. I've tried creating one over the past several days, but no availability. Boot volumes don't appear to be accessible across ADs. The free tier doesn't appear to allow one to replicate across ADs. Can't seem to download the boot volume, I'm guessing one or more restrictions within the free tier are preventing me from facilitating this. So I'm unable to attach the boot volume to a VM to access the filesystem.
