9.1 Overview of the DBMCLI Utility

The DBMCLI utility is the command-line administration tool for configuring database servers, and managing objects in the server environment.

DBMCLI runs on each server to enable you to configure an individual database server. You use DBMCLI to start and stop the server, to manage server configuration information, and to enable or disable servers. The command-line utility is already installed when Oracle Exadata is shipped.
