To remove hot-plug SSDs from a running cluster

  1. Use flashgrid-cluster drives  command to determine the following information about the SSDs that will be removed:
  • ASM name of the SSD, e.g. RAC2$SERIALNUMBER
  • Slot numbers where the SSDs are installed

  1. If the SSDs are members of an ASM disk group then drop the SSD from the disk group. Example:

    SQL> alter diskgroup MYDG    
drop disk RAC1$SERIALNUMBER1    
drop disk RAC2$SERIALNUMBER2    
rebalance wait;

  2. Prepare the SSDs for removal. Example:

    [root@rac1 ~] # flashgrid-node stop-target /dev/flashgrid/rac1.serialnumber1
[root@rac2 ~] # flashgrid-node stop-target /dev/flashgrid/rac2.serialnumber2
  3. Physically remove the SSDs.
