Active System Manager Release 8.2 User’s Guide

When a service provisioned by ASM is no longer required, it is important to decommission the resources. Therefore, the resources can be provisioned for future services.

The steps to accomplish this task differ based on the type of resource component provisioned. For hosts provisioned by ASM, the default behavior when a service is deleted is to turn off the host. For server, additional cleanup is required after turning off the server. For storage provisioned by ASM, the default behavior when a service is deleted is to retain the storage volume available to make sure that no critical data is deleted.

As a best practice, you need to perform the following tasks while decommissioning a service. Make sure to perform these tasks to avoid issues in provisioning of future services due to conflicts.
