Check the Status of a DB System

This article provides the procedure to check the status of a DB system.

Procedure

Perform the following steps to check the status of a DB system using the OCI Console:

  1. On the DB Systems list page, find the DB system you're interested in and check its state. If you need help finding the list page or the DB system, see List the DB Systems. The color of the icon and the text in it indicates the status of the system.
    • Provisioning: Yellow icon. Resources are being reserved for the DB system, the system is booting, and the initial database is being created. Provisioning can take several minutes. The system is not ready to use yet.
    • Available: Green icon. The DB system was successfully provisioned. A few minutes after the system enters this state, you can SSH to it and begin using it.
    • Terminating: Gray icon. The DB system is being deleted by the terminate action in the OCI Console or API.
    • Terminated: Gray icon. The DB system has been deleted and is no longer available.
    • Failed: Red icon. An error condition prevented the provisioning or continued operation of the DB system.

Node Status

Perform the following steps to view the status of a database node using the OCI Console:

  1. On the DB systems list page, select the DB system that contains the node that you want to check. If you need help finding the list page or the DB system, see List the DB Systems.
  2. On the DB system details page, select the Nodes tab to view the list of nodes.

In addition to the states listed for a DB system, a node's status can be one of the following:

  • Starting: Yellow icon. The node is being powered on by the start or reboot action in the OCI Console or API.
  • Stopping: Yellow icon. The node is being powered off by the stop or reboot action in the OCI Console or API.
  • Stopped: Yellow icon. The node was powered off by the stop action in the OCI Console or API.
