                <p>Some of these are settings for your <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/oci"/> account, which you
                    can view from the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/oci-console"/>. </p>
            </li>

                <p>(Optional) If you are using the cloud profile to connect to cloud virtual machines, select the <b outputclass="bold">Show VMs</b> check box.</p>
                <p>This creates a new subgroup of the <b outputclass="bold">OCI</b> group in <ph

            <li>
                <p>Click <b outputclass="bold">Apply</b> to save your changes. </p>
                <p>The cloud profile settings are saved to the <filepath>oci_config</filepath> file in your <ph
