This page describes how to start, stop, and restart an Autonomous AI Database.
Before you begin
Ensure that you have the following Identity and Access Management (IAM) role required to perform the start, stop, and restart operations:
-
roles/autonomousDatabaseAdmin
To learn how to assign roles, see Apply IAM roles .
Start an Autonomous AI Database
Starting an Autonomous AI Database lets you open connections and run operations on it. An Autonomous AI Database continues to run until you stop it manually.
To start an Autonomous AI Database, follow these steps:
Console
-
Go to the Autonomous AI Databasepage.
-
Click the name of the Autonomous AI Database that you want to start.
-
On the Autonomous AI Database detailspage, click Start.
-
In the Start database instancedialog, click Start.
In the Detailssection, the Statusfield shows you the progress of the start operation. The Autonomous AI Database is ready to use when the Statusfield shows "Available".
Stop an Autonomous AI Database
Stopping an Autonomous AI Database shuts down the instance, closes all the open files and the active connections, and stops the running operations. It also stops the billing for the database.
To stop an Autonomous AI Database, follow these steps:
Console
-
Go to the Autonomous AI Databasepage.
-
Click the name of the Autonomous AI Database that you want to stop.
-
On the Autonomous AI Database detailspage, click Stop.
-
In the Stop database instancedialog, click Stop.
In the Detailssection, the Statusfield shows you the progress of the stop operation. When the Autonomous AI Database is stopped, the Statusfield shows "Stopped".
Restart an Autonomous AI Database
To restart an Autonomous AI Database, follow these steps:
Console
-
Go to the Autonomous AI Databasepage.
-
Click the name of the Autonomous AI Database that you want to restart.
-
On the Autonomous AI Database detailspage, click Restart.
-
In the Restart database instancedialog, click Restart.
In the Detailssection, the Statusfield shows you the progress of the restart operation. When the restart operation is complete, the Statusfield shows "Available".
