Terminating (Deleting) a Shard

Terminating a shard in a Globally Distributed Exadata Database on Exascale Infrastructure (Distributed ExaDB-XS) configuration permanently deletes it and removes all automatic backups.

You cannot recover a terminated shard.

For more information about the concepts and considerations of removing shards see Shard Management in Using Oracle Sharding.

  1. On the Globally Distributed Exadata Database on Exascale Infrastructure list page, select a Distributed ExaDB-XS.
  2. On the Details page, in the Shards section, select the shard, and then select Terminate.
  3. On the Terminate shard dialog enter the Distributed ExaDB-XS name to confirm that you want to remove the shard.
  4. Click Remove.
