Setting the CPU Core Count on Oracle Database Appliance X6-2S, X6-2M, and X6-2L

Use the odacli update-cpucore command to change the core count on the Oracle Database Appliance X6-2S, X6-2M, and X6-2L systems.

You must always assign cores in multiples of two, with a minimum of two cores. If you change the CPU core count, then you can subsequently only increase the CPU core count.

1. Log in as root to the Oracle Database Appliance servers.
2. Run the following command to configure the number of CPU cores: odacli update-cpucore –c number of cores

   For example, run the following command to set the number of cores to 8:

   # odacli update-cpucore -c 8
