Removing an Oracle Cluster Registry Location

To remove an OCR ___location or a failed OCR ___location, at least one other OCR must be online. You can remove an OCR ___location to reduce OCR-related overhead or to stop mirroring your OCR because you moved OCR to redundant storage such as RAID.

Perform the following procedure as the root user to remove an OCR ___location from your Oracle Clusterware environment:

Ensure that at least one OCR ___location other than the OCR ___location that you are removing is online.

Caution:

Do not perform this OCR removal procedure unless there is at least one other active OCR ___location online.
Run the following command on any node in the cluster to remove an OCR ___location from either Oracle ASM or other ___location:
```
# ocrconfig -delete +ASM_disk_group | file_name
```
The file_name variable can be a device name or a file name. This command updates the OCR configuration on all of the nodes on which Oracle Clusterware is running.

Note:

The only configured Oracle ASM OCR ___location, which is on a different Oracle ASM disk group than the Oracle ASM OCR backup ___location, cannot be removed.
