On existing instances, this parameter can be changed, by editing the instance metadata service settings for the instance (go to Instance Details and click on Edit in the line Instance Metadata Service).
Only change the configuration to IMDSv2 if the image you launched the instance from supports it. Otherwise, you may not be able to connect to your instance. Please note: at the time of writing, the official CentOS 7 image on OCI did not support the new feature. If you create an instance to be used as a host for a manual VE license server or Charon-SSP VE installation, verify the capabilities of the image used before you enable the new IMDSv2 feature.
Step 8: Additional configuration for special licensing situations.
If the instance is launched from a Charon-SSP AL marketplace image and is planned to use AutoVE licensing (instead of the public license servers), you must add the corresponding information to the instance configuration before the first launch of the instance:

Step 9 (only for Charon-SSP versions before 4.1.32): the correct networking type selection is important. Charon-SSP disables offloading parameters on the Ethernet interfaces it uses. This is required for proper functionality and good performance of the emulator. To allow this configuration to be correctly reflected in the underlying cloud instance NICs for Charon-SSP versions before 4.1.32, the correct networking type (HARDWARE ASSISTED (SR-IOV) NETWORKING) must be chosen for the instance. For this, open the additional options section by clicking on Show Advanced Options at the bottom of the instance creation page and select the Networking tab as shown below:
...
On this tab select HARDWARE ASSISTED (SR-IOV) NETWORKING (after creation, the instance will display the NIC Attachment Type ). Please observe the warning displayed: not all shapes support this type properly.
Step 810: Click on Create to create your instance.
Step 911: verify that your instance is running.
