To create a VM Cluster,\nsee [Create clusters](/oracle/database/docs/create-clusters).\n\nTo learn more about Oracle Database@Google Cloud, see\n[Product overview](/oracle/database/docs/overview).\n\nBefore you begin\n----------------\n\n- [Set up gcloud CLI and enable the API](/oracle/database/docs/set-up).\n\n- Enable the Oracle Database@Google Cloud API for the project.\n\n\n [Enable the Oracle Database@Google Cloud API](https://console.cloud.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=oracledatabase.googleapis.com)\n- Confirm that you have the required roles necessary to create a cluster:\n `cloudVmClusterViewer`.\n\n For more information on how to assign roles, see\n [Apply IAM roles](/oracle/database/docs/iam-roles).\n- Confirm you have the required\n [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) permissions](https://docs.public.oneportal.content.oci.oraclecloud.com/en-us/iaas/exadatacloud/exacs/ecs-policy-details.html#ECSCM-GUID-5CA6A297-F583-4A60-A781-C0A3934760FA)\n to manage a cluster.\n\nManage clusters\n---------------\n\n### Console\n\n1. Go to the **Exadata Database Service** page in the Google Cloud console.\n\n [Go to Exadata Database Service](https://console.cloud.google.com/oracle/exadata/)\n2. Click **Exadata VM Clusters**.\n\n3. In the **Exadata VM Clusters** section, click the name of the cluster\n you want to modify.\n\n4. Click **Manage in OCI**.\n\n You're redirected to the [OCI](https://docs.oracle.com/en/engineered-systems/exadata-cloud-service/ecscm/manage-vm-clusters.html#GUID-292097D6-2F40-44AF-9228-A10E615F9638) page to modify\n your cluster.
