Chapter 12, Using the VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle Graphical User Interface
Prerelease 8 September 2005, 8:55am Shutting Down an Oracle Database Instance
281
◆ Abort
Use this option to shut down the Oracle database instance instantaneously by aborting the
database’s instance. Use this option with extreme caution and only when normal or
immediate shutdown does not work, you experience problems when starting the instance,
or you need to shut down the instance instantaneously. If you shut down using this option,
all connected users are disconnected, current client SQL statements are terminated
immediately, uncommitted transactions are not rolled back, and the instance is terminated
without closing the files. The next database start up requires an instance recovery.
Note In this release, the umount option to shutdown or umount the FlashSnap clone database
has been removed. Use the Remove Clone Database option to shutdown or umount the
FlashSnap clone database. See “Removing a Clone Database” on page 288 for details.
6. Click Shutdown instance at the bottom of the screen.
7. At the confirmation prompt, click Ye s to confirm that you want to shut down the database.
If the database instance was successfully shut down, you will receive a confirmation message.
Click OK to continue.
