Deleting Objects from a Realm

You can delete various objects from a realm. If a file or directory is removed from a realm, it is not subjected to security or encryption that is enforced on the realm. If a command rule is deleted from a realm, it is not evaluated while enforcing security on the realm. The command rule still continues to exist for use in other realms. If an encryption object is removed, it disables encryption on the realm and results in decryption of all encrypted files in the realm.

To delete an object from a realm, follow these steps:

  1. From the Oracle ASM home page, select the ASM Cluster File System tab to display the mount points in the cluster file system.

    For information about the Oracle ASM home page and how to access that page, see "Accessing the Oracle Automatic Storage Management Home Page".

  2. Click the Mount Point that contains the realm from which you want to delete objects. The Oracle ACFS home page is displayed for this mount point.

  3. Click the Security/Encryption tab.

  4. In the Security section, click Realms. The list of realms in the mount point is displayed.

  5. Select a realm and click the Edit button. The Edit Realm wizard displays.

  6. Click Next to move to the Realm Objects page where you can click Remove to delete objects from the realm.

  7. Click Done.
