Shutting Down an Orchestration

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

  1. Log in to the UI and go to the Self Service Portal.
  2. In the Self Service Portal, click the Home tab.
  3. Select the orchestration that you want to shut down.
  4. From the Actions menu, click Shutdown.
All the instances in the orchestration are shut down and their configurations are preserved.

Shutting Down an Orchestration Using the CLI or API

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.
