16 Oracle Database Appliance Command-Line Interface

The command-line interface has different classes of tools to manage Oracle Database Appliance.

About Oracle Database Appliance Command-Line Interface

Three classes of tools are available to perform deployment, lifecycle management, and system administration on Oracle Database Appliance.

The command-line interface (CLI) is an alternative to Oracle Database Appliance Browser User Interface for some appliance configuration and patching tasks, database management, and job activity.

Oracle Database Appliance uses a role-based command-line interface. Use the odacli commands to perform lifecycle management tasks and the odaadmcli commands to perform storage and hardware monitoring maintenance. Many tasks related to managing Oracle Databases are also required with databases on Oracle Database Appliance. Tasks common to Oracle Database generally are described in the Oracle Database documentation library. However, to simplify tasks, use the Oracle Database Appliance command-line interface. The odacli and odaadmcliutilities combine the capabilities of the SYS database administrator role and the operating system Superuser (root user). Always perform administrative tasks using the Oracle Database Appliance Browser User Interface or CLI utilities.

The following classes of commands are available:

  • Deployment and Configuration: Use the deployment and configuration commands as part of the initial deployment of the appliance and to configure CPU cores.

  • Lifecycle management: Use odacli commands to perform database and system administration tasks for the appliance. The odacli commands are the primary interface to perform life cycle activities for the appliance.

  • Administration: Use odaadmcli commands to perform hardware administration tasks for the appliance. The odaadmcli commands are the interface for infrequent administration activities needed to manage appliance hardware components, storage, and VLAN.

You can perform the following deployment and configuration tasks:

  • Configure the first network in the appliance

  • Unzip and copy the Oracle Database Appliance software to the correct locations

  • Set the number of CPU Cores for the system

You can perform the following appliance lifecycle tasks with odacli commands:

  • Create and describe the appliance

  • Create, list, describe, and delete databases

  • Create, list, describe, and delete Oracle Database Homes

  • Create, list, and describe the networks

  • List and describe the jobs

You can perform the following appliance administration tasks with odaadmcli commands:

  • Show storage, disks, diskgroups, and controllers

  • Display storage diagnostics for disks and NVM Express (NVMes)

  • Show server, memory, processor, power, cooling, and network details

Depending on your version of Oracle Appliance Manager and your hardware, some of the odacli commands may not be available to you. To see which commands are supported on your version of Oracle Appliance Manager and your hardware, run the odacli help command: odacli -h.

Command-Line Interface Syntax

The command-line interface commands and parameters are case-sensitive.

An odacli or odaadmclicommand uses the following command syntax:

odacli command [options]
  • command is an action you want to perform on the appliance. For example: odacli list-networks or odacli describe-jobs.

  • options are optional parts of the odacli command. Options can consist of one or more options that extend the use of the odacli command carried out on an object. Options include additional information about the action that you want to perform on the object. Option names are preceded with a dash. Some options require the name of an object for the command to perform the action that you want to carry out. If an option is preceded with an * (asterisk), this information is required to submit the command. When appending -j to the odacli command, the output is returned in JSON format. The help option (-h) is an option that is available with almost all commands. When you include the -h option, you can obtain additional information about the command that you want to perform.

Managing ODACLI Privileges and Security with SUDO

Oracle Appliance Manager command-line utility requires root system privileges for most administration actions. You may want to use SUDO as part of your system auditing and security policy.

For most tasks, Oracle recommends that you log in as root to use the Oracle Appliance Manager command-line interface on Oracle Database Appliance. If you are not logged in as root, then you cannot carry out most actions on the appliance. For example, if you are not logged in as root, then you can view storage information, but you cannot modify the storage.

Allowing Root User Access Using SUDO

In environments where system administration is handled by a different group than database administration, or where security is a significant concern, you may want to limit access to the root user account and password. SUDO enables system administrators to grant certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run commands as root, while logging all commands and arguments as part of your security and compliance protocol.

A SUDO security policy is configured by using the file /etc/sudoers. Within the sudoers file, you can configure groups of users and sets of commands to simplify and audit server administration with SUDO commands.

Caution:

Configuring SUDO to allow a user to perform any operation is equivalent to giving that user root privileges. Consider carefully if this is appropriate for your security needs.

Example 16-2 SUDO Example 1: Allow a User to Perform Any ODACLI Operation

This example shows how to configure SUDO to enable a user to perform any ODACLI operation. You do this by adding lines to the commands section in the /etc/sudoers file:

## The commands section may have other options added to it.
##
Cmnd_Alias ODACLI_CMDS=/opt/oracle/dcs/bin/odacli *
jdoe ALL = ODACLI_CMDS

In this example, the user name is jdoe. The file parameter setting ALL= ODACLI_CMDS grants the user jdoe permission to run all odacli commands that are defined by the command alias ODACLI_CMDS. After configuration, you can copy one sudoers file to multiple hosts. You can also create different rules on each host.

Note:

Before database creation, you must set up user equivalency with SSH for the root user on each server. If you do not set up user equivalency and configure SSH on each server, then you are prompted to provide the root password for each server during database creation.

After you configure the sudoer file with the user, the user jdoe can run the set of odacli commands configured with the command alias ODACLI_CMDS. For example:

odacli create-database --dbname newdb -m
Enter new 'SYS, SYSTEM and PDB Admin user' password: 
Confirm 'SYS, SYSTEM and PDB Admin user' password:

In this example, the user jdoe2 tries to run the sudo odacli list-databases command, which is not part of the set of commands that is configured for that user. SUDO prevents jdoe2 from running the command.

[jdoe2@servernode1 ~]$ sudo /opt/oracle/dcs/bin/odacli list-databases

Sorry, user jdoe2 is not allowed to execute '/opt/oracle/dcs/bin/odacli list-databases' as root on servernode1.

ODACLI Command Changes with Multi-User Access on Oracle Database Appliance

Understand the ODACLI command changes when you enable multi-user access.

ODACLI Command Usage and Entitlement Requirements When Multi-User Access is Enabled

Note:

If you have enabled multi-user access, then you can run all supported ODACLI commands on KVM and DB systems, after logging in as odaadmin.

Note:

The authentication token support for ODACLI session management is linked to a multi-user access user account. Since root is an operating system administrative user and not a multi-user access user, auth token based session management system is not supported when a user logs in as root. Therefore, you must provide an Oracle Database Appliance account user name and password to run any ODACLI command.
The following table describes the ODACLI commands that have changes for multi-user access and the entitlements required to run the commands.

odacli Network Commands

Use the odacli network commands to list and describe network interfaces.

odacli configure-firstnet

Use the command configure-firstnet to configure the first network in the appliance after racking and connecting the power and network cables.

File Path

/opt/oracle/dcs/bin/odacli

Syntax

  # /opt/oracle/dcs/bin/odacli configure-firstnet  

Usage Notes

This command ensures that the system is available in the network, enabling you to manage the deployment through the Oracle Appliance Manager Browser User Interface.

  • Bonded network configuration: Bonded dual-ported interface. With the bonded configuration, you can only enable one of the interfaces. The bonded configuration supports VLANs. The bonded network configuration uses btbond1 on Oracle Database Appliance hardware models other than X8-2. On Oracle Database Appliance X8-2, the bonded network configuration uses btbond1 to btbond6. This is the default setting.

  • Non-bonded network configuration (on Oracle Database Appliance hardware models other than X8-2): Two separate physical network interfaces, this configuration does not support VLANs. The non-bonded network configuration uses em2 and em3 as public interfaces. Note that Oracle Database Appliance X8-2 does not support non-bonded network configuration.

  • To change a non-bonded network configuration to a bonded configuration, run the Oracle Database Appliance Cleanup Script and redeploy the appliance.

Example 16-4 Configuring the First Network as a Bonded Network

Configure the first network to use a btbond1 interface without configuring DHCP. Complete the IP address, netmask address, and gateway address.

Values that you need to provide are shown in italic font, with the exception of the net1 gateway address; the program obtains the gateway IP address. The program derives this gateway address using the network information you provided for the other IP addresses. Accept this value, unless your network administrator provides an alternative gateway address that is different from the default that the appliance command-line interface detects.

The following is an example of the command on a single node platform:

# /opt/oracle/dcs/bin/odacli configure-firstnet

Select the Interface to configure the network on (btbond1): btbond1
Configure DHCP on btbond1 (yes/no): no
INFO: You have chosen Static configuration
Enter the IP address to configure: 10.1.10.2

Example 16-5 Configuring the First Network as a Non-Bonded Network

The following is an example of a non-bonded configuration. For a non-bonded configuration, answer no to using a bonding public interface. Note that Oracle Database Appliance X8-2 does not support non-bonded network configuration.

odacli update-registry

Use the odacli update-registry command to update the registry of components when you apply patches manually.

File Path

$ORACLE_HOME/opt/oracle/dcs/bin/odacli

Syntax

  odacli update-registry  -n component  [-f] [-j] [-h]

Parameters

Parameter Description

--component, -n

Defines the Oracle Database Appliance component for the registry update. The values can be system {gihome, dbnode, sysinstance} or all {dbhome, db, dbstorage, asr}. You can also specify the individual component to be refreshed.

Note: Refresh system components before you refresh all components.

-f

(Optional) Forces the refresh of the specified component even if it already exists in the appliance registry metadata.

--help, -h

(Optional) Displays help for using the command.

--json, -j

(Optional) Displays JSON output.

Usage Notes

The update-registry command updates the registry of components when you apply patches manually.

The components must be updated in the order: system, dbhome, db,dbstorage, otherwise the update-registry command displays an error. To update all components, you can specify the component as all in the update-registry command.

The update-registry command rediscovers only the following DCS components resources:

  • System resources : Oracle Grid Infrastructure (gihome), Oracle Database node (dbnode), System instance (sysinstance)
  • Database Home (dbhome)
  • Database (db)
  • Database storage (dbstorage)
  • Oracle ASR

The update-registry command does not rediscover any other components not mentioned in the list.

If a TDE database is created without using Oracle Database Appliance tooling and the registry is updated for database components, then this database is added to the DCS metadata. If the TDE Wallet Management of the database is ODA, then the TDE password of the database must be updated in the DCS metadata by modifying the database with the same option you use to change the TDE password. You can specify the same password for both the current and new TDE password to ensure that the TDE password is updated in the DCS metadata.

Example 16-69 Updating the Registry with the -force option

# odacli update-registry -n system
DCS-10112:Specified components are already discovered.

Using force flag option to rediscover and update the sytem components though it already exists in appliance registry 
# odacli update-registry -n system -f

  • Upload the patches to dom0 on Node0. On multi-node systems, the DCS-Agent copies the patch to Node1 and updates the patch repository on both nodes.

  • Starting with Oracle Database Appliance release 19.12, a new Oracle ACFS file system is created to store the Oracle Database and Oracle Grid Infrastructure clone files. The DATA disk group provides a space of 150 GB for the file system. When provisioning a system with Oracle Database Appliance release 19.12, the file system is created after Oracle Grid Infrastructure software is configured. When patching a system with Oracle Database Appliance release 19.12, the file system is created when you run the odacli update-server command. If you run the command odacli update-repository after this file system is configured during provisioning or patching, then the odacli update-repository command fails if Oracle Clusterware is not running. The following error is displayed:
    DCS-10626:Cannot update the repository as the Clusterware is down. Some files need to be stored on an ACFS file system.

Example 16-70 Updating the Repository

The server patch zip file is located in the /u01/tmpdir directory. The following example updates the repository with the latest server patch and then lists the job to verify that the update is successful:

# /opt/oracle/dcs/bin/odacli update-repository -f /tmp/oda-sm-19.14.0.0.0-date-server.zip,/tmp/oda-sm-19.14.0.0.0-date-server.zip

odacli update-server

Use the odacli update-server command to update the operating system, firmware, Oracle Appliance Kit, Oracle Clusterware, and all other infrastructure components.

File Path

/opt/oracle/dcs/bin/odacli

Syntax

  odacli update-server [-p] [-c] -v version [-f][-ng] [-j] [-h]

Parameters

Parameter Description
--precheck, –p

(Optional) Analyzes the patch.

--version, –v

(Mandatory) Defines the version to update.

--component,–c (Optional) Component that is to be upgraded. Supported value is OS.
--nogrid,–ng (Optional) Skips upgrade of Oracle Grid Infrastructure.
--skip-orachk, –sko

(Optional) Skips ORAchk errors and continues patching operation.

--force, –f

(Optional) Ignores precheck error and forces the patching operation.

--json, -j

(Optional) Displays JSON output. The default is false.

--help, -h

(Optional) Displays help for using the command.

Usage Notes

  • The update-server command applies the patches to various infrastructure components and Oracle Clusterware.

    After the update is applied, the agent automatically restarts. It will take a few minutes to reconnect to the server. Wait until the agent shuts down and completes restarting before performing any tasks. Allow at least two (2) minutes before running the next command.

  • You must run the patching pre-checks at least once before running the odacli update-server command. Analyze any failed pre-checks, fix them, and rerun pre-checks. If any of the pre-checks fail, then run the odacli update-server command with the -f option.

Note:

Before updating the server, ensure that you do not have any jobs running or pending during the update window. You must run the odacli create-prepatchreport command before you patch your server; otherwise, the odacli update-server command fails with an error message prompting you to run the patching pre-checks. You can use the -f option to override precheck failures and complete the server patching.

Example 16-71 Updating the Server

Run the odacli update-server command to update the server to 19.14.0.0.0. On a high-availability system, run the command on one node. The patches are applied automatically to both nodes.

# odacli update-server -v 19.14.0.0.0
{
  "jobId" : "6f27a29a-959f-44e1-b984-7473e3c918ad",

odacli Backup and Recovery Commands

Use the odacli backup and recover commands to backup to and restore from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage or disk or NFS.

odacli create-backup

Use the command odacli create-backup to create a Level 0, Level 1, archivelog, or Longterm backup.

File Path

/opt/oracle/dcs/bin/odacli

Syntax

  odacli  create-backup [-i Database Resource ID | -in Database Resource Name] [-h] [-j]

Parameters

Parameter Description
--backupType, -bt {Regular-L0|Regular-L1|Longterm|archivelog}

Defines the type of backup. The options are not case sensitive.

--component, -c {Database|TDEWallet}

(Optional) Defines the component. The supported options are Database and TDE Wallet. The options are not case-sensitive. The default value is Database. If you specify the value as Database, then a backup of both the database and TDE Wallet is taken.

--dbName, -in

Defines the Database name.

--dbid, -i

Defines the Database Resource ID.

--help, -h

(Optional) Displays help for using the command.

--json, -j

(Optional) Displays JSON output. The default is false.

--keep-archivelog, -ka

Keeps archive logs.

--keepDays, -k

Defines the Keep Days. For Longterm Backup Type only.

--tag, -t

Defines the name of the backup. A tag is alphanumeric, up to 30 characters. Required for Longterm Backup Type. The tag must be wrapped in single quotes when special characters are used.

Usage Notes

  • Use the command odacli create-backup for a specified Database Resource ID and provide a tag for the backup name. Use up to 30 alphanumeric characters for the backup name tag. Three types of backups are available:

    • Level 0:  An RMAN incremental backup that backs up all data blocks in the data files being backed up. An incremental backup at level 0 is identical in content to a full backup, but unlike a full backup, the level 0 backup is part of an incremental backup strategy.

    • Level 1: An RMAN incremental backup that includes only those blocks that have been changed since the "parent" backup was taken. A parent backup can be either a level 0 or a level 1 backup.

    • Longterm: Longterm backups are available when backing up to NFS (External FRA) or Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage (Oracle Object Storage).

    • Archivelog: This option is used to perform backup of all archivelogs not yet backed up to the backup destination, such as Internal FRA, External FRA (NFS location), or Object Store.

  • The Backup Type must be specified in most cases, when you run the odacli create-backup command. If the Backup Component is TDE Wallet, then you need not specify the Backup Type.
  • This command creates a Backup Report with a Resource ID. To get the ID, use the command odacli describe-job -i job_id -j and look for the resourceId attribute in resourceList.

Example 16-78 Create a Manual Database Backup

Create a long term backup that is kept for 90 days and named q12018HR.

  # odacli  create-backup -i Database Resource ID -bt Longterm -c database -k 90 -t q12018HR

Example 16-79 Create a Level 0 Database Backup

Create a Level 0 backup named 2017Dec22ProductionLevel0 for resource ID 20576eb1-bc32-4e34-bf97-fda0b60ca15b

# odacli  create-backup -i 20576eb1-bc32-4e34-bf97-fda0b60ca15b -bt Regular-L0 -t 2017Dec22ProductionLevel0

Example 16-80 Create a Backup of only the TDE Wallet

# odacli create-backup -in testdb -c TDEWallet

Example 16-81 Create a Backup of the database and TDE Wallet

# odacli create-backup -in testdb -bt regular-l0

odacli create-backupconfig

Use the command odacli create-backupconfig to create a backup configuration.

File Path

/opt/oracle/dcs/bin/odacli

Syntax

  odacli  create-backupconfig  -n backup configuration name -d backup destination{Disk|ObjectStore|NFS|None} [-c] [-cr] [-h] [-j] [-no-cr] [-o] [-w] [-f] [-ca] [-dc] [-ec] [-on]

Parameters

Parameter Description
--backupdestination, –d {Disk|ObjectStore|NFS|None}

Defines the backup destination. The options are not case sensitive.

--container, -c

(Optional) Defines the object store container.

--crosscheck, -cr

(Optional) Enable crosscheck.

--help, -h

(Optional) Displays help for using the command.

--json, -j

(Optional) Displays JSON output. The default is false.

--name, -n

Defines the backup configuration name.

--no-crosscheck, -no-cr

(Optional) Disable crosscheck.

--objectstoreswiftId, -o

(Optional) Defines the swift object store credential ID.

--tde-container, -f

(Optional) Defines the container or backup location to backup the TDE Wallet. Must be the absolute path to the parent directory when the backup target is NFS, and must be the container name when the backup target is Objectstore.

--recoverywindow, -wDisk: {1-14} | ObjectStore: {1-31}

(Optional) Defines the Recovery Window in days. {1-14} days for Disk and {1-31} days for Object Storage in the cloud.

--compression-algo, -ca

(Optional) Defines the compression algorithm {basic|low|medium|high} that RMAN must use. (default: basic(disk/NFS), medium(ObjectStore))

--disable-compression, -dc

(Optional) Disables compression for the backups. Compression is enabled by default.

--enable-compression, -ec

(Optional) Enables compression for the backups. Compression is enabled by default.

--objectstoreswiftName, -on

(Optional) Defines the Objectstore Swift resource name. Specify the Objectstore Swift resource name or Objectstore Swift ID.

Usage Notes

  • To backup a TDE-enabled database, backup configuration with separate TDE Wallet backup location and Database backup location is mandatory.
  • To backup a non-TDE database, backup configuration with either single database backup location or backup configuration with both database backup location and TDE Wallet backup location can be used.
  • For Disk backup configuration, TDE Wallet backup location is by default, Fast Recovery Area (FRA), but in a separate path from the Database backup path within FRA. Hence, TDE Wallet backup location need not be specified when creating the Disk backup configuration.
  • The recovery window that is defined in the backup configuration determines when backups are considered obsolete. The following are guidelines:

    • Disk: 1-14 days

    • Object Storage: 1-31 days

Example 16-82 Create a Backup Configuration for disk

Create a backup configuration named production that backs up to disk with a 14 day recovery window.

# odacli create-backupconfig -d Disk -n production -w 14

Example 16-83 Create a Backup Configuration for NFS location

Create a backup configuration that backs up to NFS with a 2 day recovery window.

# odacli create-backupconfig -d NFS -n NfsPolicy1 -c /tmp/Nfsbackps -w 2

Example 16-84 Create a Backup Configuration with separate backup locations for database backup and TDE Wallet backup

# odacli create-backupconfig -n bcfg1 -d Objectstore -w 1 -c location1-on oss1 -f location2

Example 16-85 Create a Backup Configuration with single backup location for database backup

# odacli create-backupconfig -n bcfg2 -d Objectstore -w 1 -c testb2 -on oss2

odacli create-objectstoreswift

Use the command odacli create-objectstoreswift to create and store the Oracle credential details required to backup to Oracle Object Store.

File Path

To specify the dbRedundancy option for an Oracle ASM or ACFS storage-based database, at least one disk group of FLEX redundancy must exist. To specify the dbRedundancy option for an Oracle ASM storage database, the dbVersion or dbHomeVersion must be 12.2 or later.

The precedence logic for setting the dbRedundancy is:

  1. dbRedundancy that is specified in the irestore-database command.

  2. dbRedundancy in the backup report.

  3. If the disk group redundancy is FLEX, then the default dbRedundancy value is MIRROR.

--associated-networks, -nn

Specifies the associated network names (in the format networkName1,networkName2,...).

--dbOnFlashStorage, -f

(Optional) Specifies whether to enable data on Flash storage.

--no-dbOnFlashStorage, -no-f

(Optional) Specifies whether to disable data on Flash storage.

--cpupool, -cp

(Optional) Specifies the CPU pool name.

Usage Notes

Caution:

When you create a database with Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) enabled, you are prompted to set a password for the TDE wallet. Provide a strong password for security compliance. Set the password carefully, and ensure that this password is available to you at all times for database management operations. Failure to provide the TDE wallet password when prompted, will cause an error in accessing encrypted data.
  • The command odacli irestore-database restores a database to a system using the Backup Report that is in the Oracle Object Store or External FRA (NFS) location. You can restore a database from one appliance to another appliance, or to the same appliance after the source database is deleted.

  • An Oracle wallet (ObjectStoreSwift credentials) must be created to access the backups in Oracle Object Store. This command performs the environment checks, validation checks, and tasks needed to restore a database to an Oracle Database Appliance system.

  • If -cp parameter is provided as part of the command, the database is associated with the particular CPU pool.
  • If -cp parameter is not provided as part of the command, and if the backup report has information about the associated CPU pool, then the command validates the CPU pool specified in the backup report. If the validation fails, then an error message is displayed.
  • If the backup report does not have information about any associated CPU pool, then the database is created without being associated with any CPU pool.
  • To restore a TDE-enabled database, the TDE wallet password must be provided.
  • If source database is TDE enabled, then the target database which was restored will also have TDE enabled.
  • Specify the TDE wallet location if the backup report does not have TDE wallet location or if the backup report is inaccessible or unavailable.

Parameter Description
--backupReport, -br{Regular-L0|Regular-L1|Longterm}

(Optional) JSON input for a backup report.

--dbName, -in

Defines the Database Name.

--dbid, -i

Defines the Database Resource ID.

--help, -h

(Optional) Displays help for using the command.

--json, -j

(Optional) Displays JSON output. The default is false.

--tde-backup-location, -tl

(Optional) Specifies the backup location for TDE wallet. If not specified, the latest known TDE backup location is used.

--recoveryTimeStamp, -r

(Optional) Defines the date and time of the backup. The Recovery Timestamp (in format mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss) is required when the recovery is a point in time recovery (PITR).

--recoverytype, -t {Latest|PITR|SCN}

(Optional) Defines the recovery type. Do not provide the recovery type if you define the Backup Report.

--rmanrecoverypassword(s), -p

(Optional) Defines the password for recovery. You can provide more than one password, but the passwords must be within single quote separated by comma(,).

--scn, -s

(Optional) Defines the SCN recovery type. Required when the RecoveryType is SCN.

--cpupool, -cp

(Optional) Specifies the CPU pool name.

--timeZone, -tz

(Optional) Specifies the recovery time zone, in a format similar to {area}/{city} such as america/los_angeles. This option is required when the recovery type is a point in time recovery (PITR).

Usage Notes

Recovers a database to the latest, a point in time recovery (PITR), or System Change Number (SCN) as input. You can also recover a database from a Backup Report provided as JSON input file.

This command performs various environment and validation checks in order to attempt to ensure that recovery of database is successful. If non-TDE database backups are in ObjectStore, the RMAN recovery passwords are needed to recover the database. This includes RMAN restore and recovery.

This command always performs a full RMAN database restore and recovery. This command is most useful when there is a complete database loss or when the majority of the database files are lost. If you do not require a full RMAN restore, you can perform a manual recovery. For example, a single data file loss or control file loss.
  • If -cp parameter is provided as part of the command, recovered database is associated with the particular CPU pool.
  • If -cp parameter is not provided as part of the command, and if the backup report has information about the associated CPU pool, then the recovered database is also associated with the same CPU pool.
  • If the original database does not have any associated CPU pool, then the recovered database is also not associated with any CPU pool.

odacli CPU Pool Commands for Bare Metal and KVM

Use odacli commands to manage resource allocations on Oracle Database Appliance for bare metal and KVM deployments.

CPU pools enable management of CPU resources in both bare metal and KVM environments. There are two types of CPU pools, that is, BM and VM.

Use the BM CPU pool to ensure that the database on a bare metal host runs exclusively on the CPUs specified in the CPU pool.

Use the VM CPU pools to cage and manage CPU resource allocations to workloads for virtual machines. Workloads are isolated by creating CPU pools and assigning or pinning virtual machines to a specific CPU pool. When you pin a virtual machine to a CPU pool, you ensure that the virtual machine uses CPUs in only that CPU pool.

Resources in CPU pools cannot overlap, that is, CPU pools cannot share CPUs.

odacli create-cpupool

Use the odacli create-cpupool command to create a new CPU pool on Oracle Database Appliance Bare Metal or Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) deployment.

Syntax

 odacli create-cpupool -n name -c number_of_cores {-bm|-vm} -nn node_name -s socket -dbs [-j] [-h]

Parameters

Parameter Description

--name, -n

Specifies the CPU Pool name.

--cores, -c

Specifies the CPU Pool cores.

--bm, -bm

Specifies the CPU Pool as Bare Metal.

--vm, -vm

Specifies the CPU Pool as Virtual Machine.

--dbsystem, -dbs

Specifies the CPU Pool type as DB System.

--socket, -s

Specifies the socket to use. If not specified, then use all available sockets.

--node-name, -nn

(Optional) Specifies the node where the CPU Pool will be created. On High-Availability deployment, if this option is not specified, then the CPU pool is created on both nodes.

--json, -j

(Optional) Displays output in JSON format.

--help, -h

(Optional) Displays help for using the command.

Usage Notes

  • Attach the BM CPU pool to databases. Bare metal CPU pools can be assigned to multiple databases.
  • Attach VM CPU pool VM guest machines. VM CPU pools can be assigned to multiple VMs.
  • Attach dbsystem CPU pool to dbsystems. dbsystem CPU pool can be assigned to multiple dbsystems. After you create a dbsystem CPU pool, you can create a new dbsystem with this CPU pool by adding the new CPU pool parameter in the create-dbsystem json file, or modify-dbsystem to attach CPU pool to an existing dbsystem.
  • Resources in CPU pools cannot overlap, that is, CPU pools cannot share CPUs.
  • After you create a BM CPU pool, you can associate this CPU pool to a database using the create-database or modify-database command.
  • After you create a VM CPU pool, you can associate this CPU pool to a VM using the create-vm or modify-vm command.
  • Number of cores mustbe an even number between 2 and the total number of available cores on the system.
  • By default, a CPU in the CPU pool is allocated across two sockets in release 19.12 and later. Optionally, you can choose to allocate the CPU based on the socket number (0 or 1). This is especially useful to support Standard Edition licensing. It is recommended that you use the default allocation and do not mix two types of allocation.

Example

Create a BM CPU pool named cpupool1 with 6 cores associated to it.
# odacli create-cpupool -n cpupool1 -c 6 -bm
Create a VM CPU pool named cpupool2 with 6 cores associated to it.
# odacli create-cpupool -n cpupool2 -c 6 -vm
Create a DB System CPU pool named cpupool3 with 6 cores associated to it.
# odacli create-cpupool -n cpupool3 -c 6 -dbs
Create a DB System CPU pool named cpupool4 with 4 cores of CPUs allocated from socket 0.
# odacli create-cpupool -n cpupool4 -dbs -s 0 -c 4

odacli remap-cpupools

Use the odacli remap-cpupools command to remap CPU pools to NUMA allocation on Oracle Database Appliance Bare Metal or Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) deployment.

Syntax

Usage Notes

  • If the disk group redundancy is FLEX, then the default dbRedundancy value is MIRROR.

  • Flash cache is disabled by default.

  • You cannot mix Oracle Database Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition databases on the same appliance.

  • For Standard Edition Oracle Database 19c or later, you cannot create Oracle RAC Or Oracle RAC One Node Database. For Standard Edition, you can only deploy single-instance Oracle Database with or without high-availability enabled.
  • Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) is an Advanced Security Option (ASO) available with Oracle Database Enterprise Edition.
  • TDE is not configured by default during database creation.
  • The dbname and databaseUniqueName can contain underscores (-), lowercase and uppercase alphabet (a-zA-Z, and numeric characters (0-9), must start with an alphabet, and must not exceed 8 characters in length. The dbname and databaseUniqueName must not also be an Oracle reserved key word.
  • Use the --cdb or --no-cdb flag to indicate whether or not the database is a container database. When neither flag is specified, the default database created is a non-CDB database.

  • When --dbhomeid is not provided, the create-database command creates a new Oracle Database Home.

  • When --dbhomeid is provided, the create-database command creates the database using the existing Oracle Home. Use the odacli list-dbhomes command to obtain the dbhomeid.

  • When you use the command to create an instance-only database, then you cannot specify the database shape (template).
  • When you specify both the --version and the--dbhomeid, the version is ignored and the database is created against the existing database home.

  • Oracle Database 12.1 or later is supported on both Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) and Oracle ASM Cluster file system (ACFS). The default is Oracle ASM.

  • When databases are created in Oracle ACFS, each database is configured with its own Oracle ACFS file system for the datafiles and uses the following naming convention: /u02/app/db user/oradata/db unique name. The default size of this mount point is 100 GB.

    Note:

    Oracle recommends not sharing the mount point across different databases.
  • Online logs are stored in the /u03/app/db user/redo/ directory.

  • Oracle Fast Recovery Area (FRA) is located in the /u03/app/db user/fast_recovery_area directory.

  • For the version, you can specify the database version, for example, 19.11.0.0, 18.8.0.0, 12.2.0.1, or12.1.0.2, or you can use a 5 digit format to specify a specific patch bundle version. If you use the database version without specifying the bundle patch number, the latest bundle patch is used.

Caution:

When you create a database with Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) enabled, you are prompted to set a password for the TDE wallet. Provide a strong password for security compliance. Set the password carefully, and ensure that this password is available to you at all times for database management operations. Failure to provide the TDE wallet password when prompted, will cause an error in accessing encrypted data.

Example 16-131 Creating a TDE-enabled database

# odacli create-database -n test -t
Enter new 'SYS, SYSTEM and PDB Admin user' password: 
Confirm 'SYS, SYSTEM and PDB Admin user' password: 
Enter new 'TDE wallet' password: 
Confirm 'TDE wallet' password:

Example 16-132 Creating a Database in Interactive Mode

This example creates a 19.14.0.0.0 OLTP container database named hrdb with shape odb2 and enables you to provide the password interactively.

# odacli create-database -n hrdb -c -cl OLTP -s odb2 -p pdb1 

Enter new 'SYS, SYSTEM and PDB Admin user' password: 
Confirm 'SYS, SYSTEM and PDB Admin user' password: 
{
   "jobId" : "f12485f2-dcbe-4ddf-aee1-de24d37037b6",
   "status" : "Created",
   "message" : null,
   "reports" : [ ],
   "createTimestamp" : "December 8, 2021 03:54:03 AM EDT",
   "description" : "Database service creation with db name: hrdb",
   "updatedTime" : "December 8, 2021 03:54:03 AM EDT" 
}

Example 16-133 Creating a Database Against a Different Version

Either of the following statements creates a database against a home with Oracle Database Bundle applied:

# odacli create-database -n hrmsdb1 -v 19.14.0.0.0       
# odacli create-database -n hrmsdb2 -v 19.14.0.0.220118  

The following statement creates a new database against a home with a specific Oracle Database Bundle:

# odacli create-database -n hrmsdb3 -v 19.14.0.0.220118 

Example 16-134 Creating a Database associated with a CPU Pool

The following command creates a new database associated with a CPU pool:

# odacli create-database -j -n dbcpupl -r ACFS -cp testdbcpupool

odacli delete-database

Use the odacli delete-database command to delete a database.

File Path

/opt/oracle/dcs/bin/odacli

Syntax

To delete a database:

odacli delete-database -i dbid  [-ea] [-h] [-j] [-fd]

Parameters

Parameter Description

--dbid, -i

Identifies the database home identifier (ID) to display.

Use the odacli list-databases command to obtain the --dbid.

--force, -fd

(Optional) Forces the delete operation.

--eraseAll, -ea

(Optional) Removes all files.

--help, -h

(Optional) Displays help for using the command.

--json, -j

(Optional) Displays JSON output.

Usage

Note:

The odacli delete-database command deletes the database, the file system, and the underlying advm volumes assigned to the database. For example, deleting a database named hrdb also deletes the file system /u02/app/oracle/oradata/hrdb. Do not keep any other files on this database file location. If you have manually added static entries for the database you want to delete in your listener.ora file, then remove these entries before running the odacli delete-database command.

Example 16-135 Deleting a Database Named hrmsdb

In this example we want to delete a database named hrmsdb. Before we can delete the database, we need to know the database home identifier (dbid). This example shows how to run the odacli list-databases command to list the databases and their associated dbid, then how to delete database hrmsdb.

# odacli list-databases
