Create additional Oracle Databases using the Oracle Appliance Manager Command-Line Utility (OAKCLI) to ensure that your database is configured optimally for Oracle Database Appliance.
OAKCLI assists you to deploy Oracle Databases that follow Optimal Flexible Architecture guidelines. The Optimal Flexible Architecture standard provides best practices configurations to help to ensure database deployments that are easier to support and maintain. Optimal Flexible Architecture includes the following
Structured organization of directories and files, and consistent naming for critical database files, such as control files, redo log files, and other critical files, which simplifies database administration.
Separation of tablespace contents to minimize tablespace free space fragmentation, and maximize administrative flexibility
Stripe and Mirror Everything (SAME) deployment, which safeguards against database failures
Refer to "Optimal Flexible Architecture" in Oracle Database Installation Guide for Linux for more information about Optimal Flexible Architecture.
Start the OAKCLI utility by using the command oakcli create database to create additional databases on Oracle Database Appliance.
When you run this command, respond to each prompt by entering the number that corresponds with the option you want to apply to your database. When a default is supplied, and the default is the value you want to use (typically shown as option 1), click Enter to accept that value. When there are many options, and the value you want is not displayed, press 0 to show all of the options.
