5.22.2 Removing a User Domain from an Oracle VM Cluster Using domu_maker

You can remove a single Oracle RAC node from an Oracle VM cluster by using the domu_maker utility.

The Oracle Exadata grid disks remain in use by the remaining nodes in the cluster, and must not be dropped.

Note:

If Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant xml configuration files are to be reused later, then they will be not synchronized because the definition for the removed user domain still exists in Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant files.

1. Delete the cluster node.
2. Use the following command to shut down and remove the user domain, where DomainName is the name of the domain:

   # /opt/exadata_ovm/exadata.img.domu_maker remove-domain DomainName
   

   This command removes the user domain files from the management domain.
