Stop a DB System

This article provides the details and procedure to stop a DB system.

DB system nodes are stopped individually. For multi-node RAC DB systems, you may need to act on only one node (as in the case of proactively rebooting a node with scheduled maintenance).

Procedure

Perform the following steps to stop a DB system using the OCI Console:

  1. From the navigation menu, select Oracle Database, and then select Oracle Base Database Service.
  2. Select your Compartment. A list of DB systems is displayed.
  3. On the DB systems list page, select the DB system that you want to manage. The DB system details page is displayed.
  4. On the DB system details page, under Resources, select Nodes to view the list of nodes.
  5. From the Actions menu of the desired node, select Stop.

    This action shuts down the node. After the node is powered off, the Start action is enabled.

Note:

  • Stopping a node stops billing for all OCPUs associated with that node. Billing resumes if you restart the node.
  • After you restart or reboot a node, the floating IP address might take several minutes to be updated and displayed in the OCI Console.
