Drop an Exadata Storage Server

1. From Oracle ASM, drop the Oracle ASM disks on the physical disk using the following command:

   ALTER DISKGROUP diskgroup-name DROP DISK asm-disk-name
   

   To ensure correct redundancy level in Oracle ASM, wait for the rebalance to complete before proceeding.

2. Remove the IP address entry from the cellip.ora file on each database server that accesses the Exadata Storage Server.

   DROP CELLDISK celldisk-on-this-lun FORCE 
   

4. Shut down all services on the Exadata Storage Server.
