When you shut down an orchestration, all the instances are gracefully shut down and their network configuration, storage volumes, and disks metadata associated with the instance are preserved. You can restart a shutdown orchestration to move instances to a running state.
You can shut down an orchestration in the following states:
Ready
Error
Unreachable
Use the following command to shut down an orchestration:
oracle-compute shutdown orchestration name
An Oracle Cloud Administrator can shut down an orchestration in the Unreachable
state using the force
option in the command only after it is verified that the virtual machine of the instance is not running.
For more information, see CLI Reference for Oracle Compute Cloud Service.
To shut down an orchestration using the API, use the PUT https://api.oc.example.com/orchestration/name?action=SHUTDOWN
method.
For more information, see REST API Reference for Oracle Compute Cloud Service.
