Oracle Appliance Manager Command-Line Interface Command Reference

Oracle Appliance Manager command-line interface commands and parameters are not case sensitive. An oakcli command uses the following command syntax:

oakcli command object [parameters]

In oakcli syntax:

  • command is a verb such as show, locate, apply, and so on

  • object (also known as a noun) is the target or object on which the oakcli command performs the operation, such as a disk or controller. You can also use object abbreviations.

  • parameters extend the use of a preceding command combination to include additional options for the command. Parameter names are preceded with a dash, for example, -h, which is the help parameter available with every command.

oakcli create database

Use the oakcli create database command to create additional databases on Oracle Database Appliance.

When you run oakcli create database, the command prompts you for further inputs. See "Creating a new database showing prompts" in the Examples section.

Syntax
oakcli create database -db db_name [[[-oh home] | [-version version]] [-params params_file] [-cdb]]
Parameters

Table 4-13 oakcli create database Command Parameters

Parameter Description

-db db_name

db_name is the name of the database that you want to create.

-oh home

(Optional) home is the name of an existing Oracle home to use when creating the database. By default, the command creates a new database home.

-version version

(Optional) version is the version of the database that you want to create. By default, Oracle Database Appliance uses the highest version that you have downloaded.

-params params_file

(Optional) params_file is the configuration file. By default, Oracle Database Appliance uses the default configuration file.

-cdb

(Optional) create the database as a container database


Usage Notes
  • The -oh and the -version parameters are mutually exclusive. Attempting to use both in the same command will generate an error.

  • When a database is created without identifying an Oracle Home, a new Oracle Home is created, using a standard naming convention, for example, OraDb11203_home3. The number at the end of the name is incremented by one for each new home created with the same version number.

  • When you upgrade the database, infrastructure, and Oracle Grid Infrastructure, you must specify an existing home to create a new database.

--database

Specifies that the database homes are to be patched.

--noreboot

Node will not be rebooted after patching.

--clean

Clean up all temporary files on the local node.

--verify

Show the patchable components on the node.


Examples

Example 1   Patching a node

The following command updates the current node with the 2.5.0.0.0 patch:

oakcli update -patch 2.5.0.0.0

oakcli upgrade

Use the oakcli upgrade command to upgrade Oracle Databases on Oracle Database Appliance. For patching Oracle Database Appliance itself, see the oakcli update command.

Syntax

oakcli upgrade database [-db db_names | -from source_home] -to destination_home [-h]

Parameters

Table 4-53 oakcli upgrade Command Parameters

Parameter Description

-db db_names

Specifies the name or names (in a comma-delimited list) of the database or databases you want to upgrade.

-from source_home

Specifies the current Oracle Database home of the databases you are upgrading.

-to destination_home

Specifies the Oracle Database home containing the version to which you want to upgrade the databases

--h

(Optional) Displays the online help.


Usage Notes

  • You must include either a -db parameter or a -from parameter.

  • Running the command with a -db parameter upgrades only the named databases, regardless of their current Oracle Database homes. If you include a -from parameter, in addition to a -db parameter, then the command ignores the -from parameter. That is, the command upgrades named databases from other homes and ignores the databases in the named home if they are not listed in the -db parameter.

  • Running the command without a -db parameter will upgrade all of the databases in the named Oracle Database home.

  • You must always provide a -to parameter which names an existing Oracle Database home.

Examples

Example 1   Upgrading an Oracle Database

The following command upgrades an 11.2.0.2.5 database named tpcc to version 11.2.0.3.1 using the Oracle Database home directory OraDb11203_home1:

oakcli upgrade database -db tpcc -to OraDb11203_home1

oakcli validate

Use the oakcli validate command to validate the state of an Oracle Database Appliance or the viability of an operating system patch.

Syntax

Use the following oakcli validate syntax to validate an Oracle Database Appliance:

oakcli validate [[-V | -l | -h]] | [[-v][-f output_file] [-a | -d | -c checklist][-ver patch_version]]

Parameters/Options

Table 4-54 oakcli validate Command Parameters

Parameter Description

-V

Display the version of oakValidation.

-l

List the items that can be checked along with their descriptions.

-h

Display the online help.

-v

Show verbose output (must be used with a parameter that generates a validation report).

-f output_file

Send output to a file with a fully-qualified file name, output_file, instead of to the screen (stdout).

-a

Run all system checks, including DiskCalibration. Oracle recommends that you use this command to validate system readiness before deployment. Do not run oakcli validate with this option on a busy production system, because the DiskCalibration system check can cause performance issues.

-d

Run only the default checks.

-c checklist

Run the validation checks for the items identified in checklist, a comma-delimited list. Use this parameter to check either a single item or subset of items.

-ver patch_version

Report any reasons for not being able to patch Oracle Database Appliance with the patch named in patch_version.


Examples

Example 1   Listing all checks and their descriptions

List all of the checks available with oakcli validate along with their descriptions:

oakcli validate -l

         Checkname -- Description
         =========    ===========
         *SystemComponents -- Validate system components based on ilom sensor data
         readings
         *OSDiskStorage -- Validate OS disks and filesystem information
         *SharedStorage -- Validate Shared storage and multipathing information
         DiskCalibration -- Check disk performance with orion
         *NetworkComponents -- Validate public and private network components
         *StorageTopology -- Validate external JBOD connectivity
         asr -- Validate asr components based on asr config file and ilom sensor
         data readings

* -- These checks are also performed as part of default checks

Note:

The NetworkComponents validation check is not available on hardware prior to Oracle Database Appliance X3-2.
Example 2   Running all checks
