Deleting Oracle Database 19c RAC from Nodes on Linux

Deleting Instances from Oracle RAC Databases

Use DBCA in silent mode to delete a database instance from a node, execute on the remaining nodes.

~]$ dbca -silent -deleteInstance -nodeList oracle19crac03 -gdbName coco -instanceName coco3 -sysDBAUserName sys -sysDBAPassword oracle
[WARNING] [DBT-19203] The Database Configuration Assistant will delete the Oracle instance and its associated OFA directory structure. All information about this instance will be deleted.

Removing Oracle RAC

If there is a listener in the Oracle RAC home on the node you are deleting, then you must disable and stop it before deleting the Oracle RAC software.

~]$ srvctl disable listener -l LISTENER -n oracle19crac03
~]$ srvctl stop listener -l LISTENER -n oracle19crac03

~]$ crsctl stat res ora.LISTENER.lsnr -t

Deinstall the Oracle home — only if the Oracle home is not shared.
