Database Configuration
Up until now, this topic has given the big picture of the Oracle Database Appliance and Integrated Lights Out
Management (ILOM), and has shown how to install the Oracle Database Appliance from the hardware and software
perspectives. What has not been covered until now is creating and configuring the Oracle database for the Oracle
Database Appliance. In this chapter, we will focus on the
oakcli
command and the options associated with creating
and deleting various types of database configurations.
The oakcli Command
The
oakcli
command provides the command-line interface to managing the appliance. It is the command you'll use
to create and delete databases, and those are the uses we'll focus on in this chapter.
Command Options
Listing 4-1 shows the help output from the
oakcli
command. You will be focusing on the last two options of the
oakcli
command:
create
and
delete
. These options provide a single non-GUI interface to creating an Oracle database on
the Oracle Database Appliance. By using the
oakcli
command-line tool, we can easily and quickly create databases.
