Decommission a Cloud Connector

When you no longer want to use a Cloud Connector with Oracle Enterprise Communications Platform (Oracle ECP), you can remove it from your inventory with the following procedure. Oracle ECP retains historical information about the decommissioned Cloud Connector in the database after decommissioning.

Note:

Decommissioning a Cloud Connector is a final action. Once decommissioned, it can no longer re-onboard it to Oracle ECP. The Cloud Connector must be returned to Oracle before the hardware can be reused.

When a cloud connector is decommissioned, Oracle ECP returns it to an unconfigured state. This helps remove the previous deployment configuration before the device is returned to Oracle.

Context

When you decommission an Cloud Connector with a satellite connection, Oracle ECP deactivates the satellite service line and removes the satellite terminal from service. The satellite terminal becomes available for assignment to another Cloud Connector.

Note:

The Decommission action for a Cloud Connector in the Shipped lifecycle state is single-select. Bulk decommissioning of Shipped Cloud Connectors is not available.
Procedure
  1. Access the Inventory page, select Edge Nodes from the context drop-down list, and select the check box in the row of the Cloud Connector you want to decommission.
  2. From the Actions drop-down list, click Decommission.
    Oracle ECP displays the Decommission Edge Node drawer.
  3. In the Decommission Edge Node drawer, do one of the following:
    • Decommission Edge button is enabled—With no devices connected to the selected Cloud Connector, Oracle ECP enables the Decommission button. Click the button to decommission the Cloud Connector.
    • Decommission Edge button is disabled—With devices connected to the target Cloud Connector, Oracle ECP disables the Decommission Edge button until you disconnect them all. Click View Details to go to the Edge Node Details tab and disconnect all connected devices by clicking the trash can icon one-by-one. Return to the Decommission Edge Node drawer and decommission the target Cloud Connector.
    Oracle ECP displays a status message with the name of the decommissioned Cloud Connector.
After Oracle ECP completes the request for a Cloud Connector in the Shipped lifecycle state, the Cloud Connector no longer appears in the customer Edge Nodes inventory.
