C The dbaascli Utility

You can use the dbaascli utility to perform various life-cycle and administration operations on Oracle Database Exadata Cloud Service.

To use the dbaascli utility, you must be connected to an Exadata Cloud Service compute node. See Connecting to a Compute Node Through Secure Shell (SSH).
