7.7.6.7 DROP PMEMCACHE

Purpose

The DROP PMEMCACHE command removes the PMEM Cache from a cell.

Note:

The DROP PMEMCACHE command can only be used on Exadata X8M and X9M storage server models.

Syntax

DROP PMEMCACHE

Usage Notes

  • If the PMEM Cache is in write-back mode, then before dropping the PMEM cache, any data not synchronized with the grid disk (dirty data) must be flushed from PMEM cache to the disks. Failure to flush dirty data can cause data loss.

  • On Exadata X8M and X9M systems with Oracle Exadata System Software release 23.1.0, you can interchangeably use DROP XRMEMCACHE instead of DROP PMEMCACHE.
