Add a Shard
You can add shards when:
- You have completed Creating a Globally Distributed Autonomous Database Resource, but have not yet completed Deploying Globally Distributed Autonomous Database.
- You have completed Deploying Globally Distributed Autonomous Database and want to scale up your Globally Distributed Autonomous Database with more shards.
You can add shards to the Globally Distributed Autonomous Database from its Details page.
Note:
There is a time limit for deploying new shards.-
When scaling up a deployed Globally Distributed Autonomous Database, you must complete Deploying Globally Distributed Autonomous Database within 7 days of completing this procedure or you will get an error and must terminate the new shard resources and start again.
-
When adding shards to an undeployed Globally Distributed Autonomous Database, you have 7 days from completing Creating a Globally Distributed Autonomous Database Resource to add any shards and complete Deploying Globally Distributed Autonomous Database.
For more information about the concepts and considerations of adding shards to a Globally Distributed Autonomous Database see Shard Management in Using Oracle Sharding.
