Removes the configurations for an instance of an administrator-managed database. To remove the configurations of a policy-managed database, you must shrink the size of the server pool with the srvctl modify srvpool command.
If you use the -force parameter, then any services running on the instance stop. Oracle recommends that you reconfigure services to not use the instance to be removed as a preferred or available instance before removing the instance.
Note:
This command is only available with Oracle Clusterware and Oracle RAC.
If you attempt to use this command on an Oracle RAC One Node database, then the command returns an error stating that cannot remove the instance except by removing the database.
Use the srvctl remove instance command with the following syntax:
srvctl remove instance -db db_unique_name -instance instance_name [-noprompt] [-force]
Table A-128 srvctl remove instance Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
-db db_unique_name |
Unique name for the administrator-managed database. |
-instance instance_name |
Instance name. |
-noprompt |
Suppress prompts |
-force |
Specify this parameter to skip checking that the instance is not running, and remove it even though it is running. This parameter also skips checking that the instance has no running services using it, and causes those services to stop before the instance is removed. |
