About Using the dbaascli Utility on Exadata Cloud Infrastructure

You can use the dbaascli utility to perform various database lifecycle and administration operations on Exadata Cloud Infrastructure such as changing the password of a database user, starting a database, managing pluggable databases (PDBs), and more.

You must use the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console or command-line interface to scale resources. The capabilities of the dbaascli utility are in addition to, and separate from, the Console, API, or command-line interface (CLI). Unless specified differently, you need root access to dbaascli to run all administration commands.

To use the utility, you must be connected to an Exadata Cloud Infrastructure virtual machine. For detailed instructions, see Connecting to an Exadata Cloud Infrastructure Instance .

To get possible commands available with dbaascli, run dbaascli --help.

To get command-specific help, run dbaascli command --help. For example, dbaascli database create --help.

See dbasscli Command Reference in the document for commands and command specific information.

You can create an Oracle Database home with a specified Oracle home name. If you do not specify, then this is computed automatically (recommended).
  1. Connect to the virtual machine as the opc user.

    For detailed instructions, see Connecting to a Virtual Machine with SSH.

  2. Start a root user command shell:
    sudo -s
  3. Run the following command: 
    dbaascli dbhome create --version Oracle Home Version --imageTag image Tag Value
    Where:
    • --version specifies the Oracle Database version
    • --imageTag specifies the Image Tag of the image to be used
    For example:
    dbaascli dbhome create --version 19.9.0.0.0
    Note

    Specifying imageTag is optional. To view the Image Tags, refer to command dbaascli cswlib showImages. Image Tags are typically same as the version of the database. However, it is kept as a provision for cases where multiple images may need to be released for the same version - each catering to a specific customer requirement.
  4. Exit the root user command shell:
    exit

    For more details on advanced supported options, see dbaascli dbhome create.

Creating Oracle Database In the Specified Oracle Database Home

Resuming or Reverting Oracle Database Creation Operation

To resume or revert a failed database creation operation, use the --resume or --revert command option.

For example:
dbaascli database create --dbName database name --oracleHome Oracle Home Path --resume
Note

  • While using the --resume or --revert command options, ensure that you use the same command from the same node that was used for actual create operation flow.
  • You can resume database creation only if there is a failure in the post database creation step.

Changing the Database Passwords

To change the SYS password, or to change the TDE wallet password, use this procedure.

The password that you specify in the Database Admin Password field when you create a new Exadata Cloud Infrastructure instance or database is set as the password for the SYS, SYSTEM, TDE wallet, and PDB administrator credentials. Use the following procedures if you need to change passwords for an existing database.

Note

if you are enabling Data Guard for a database, then the SYS password and the TDE wallet password of the primary and standby databases must all be the same.
Note

Using the dbaascli to change the SYS password will ensure the backup/restore automation can parallelize channels across all nodes in the cluster.

To Change the SYS Password for an Exadata Cloud Infrastructure Database

  1. Log onto the Exadata Cloud Infrastructure virtual machine as opc.
  2. Run the following command:
    sudo dbaascli database changepassword --dbname database_name --user SYS

To Change Database Passwords in a Data Guard Environment

  1. Run the following command on the primary database:
    dbaascli database changePassword —dbName <dbname> --user SYS --prepareStandbyBlob true --blobLocation <location to create the blob file>
  2. Copy the blob file created to all the standby databases and update the file ownership to oracle user.
  3. Run the following command on all the standby databases:
    dbaascli database changePassword —dbName <dbname> --user SYS --standbyBlobFromPrimary <location of copies the blob file>

To Change the TDE Wallet Password for an Exadata Cloud Infrastructure Database

  1. Log onto the Exadata Cloud Infrastructure virtual machine as opc.
  2. Run the following command:
    sudo dbaascli tde changepassword --dbname database_name

Managing Exadata Cloud Infrastructure Software Images Using the Dbaascli Utility

You can list and download the Oracle database software images on an Exadata Cloud Infrastructure instance, which can then be used for provisioning a database home.

Note

You can create custom database software images for your Exadata Cloud Infrastructure instances using the Console or API. These images are stored in Object Storage, and can be used to provision a Database Home in your Exadata instance. See Oracle Database Software Images more information.

You can control the version of Oracle binaries that is installed when you provision a new database on an Exadata Cloud Infrastructure instance by maintaining the software images on the system. Oracle provides a library of cloud software images that you can view and download onto your instance by using the dbaascli utility.

Patching Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Oracle Databases Using dbaascli

Learn to use the dbaascli utility to perform patching operations for Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Oracle Database on an Exadata Cloud Infrastructure system.

Parent topic: Using the dbaascli Utility on Exadata Cloud Infrastructure

Patching Databases using dbaascli

Using dbaascli, you can choose to patch a database by patching Oracle home, or by moving the database to an Oracle home with the desired patch level.

  • Patching an Oracle home (in-place patching). This updates all databases located in the Oracle home.
  • Moving a database to a different Oracle home that has the desired Oracle Database software version (out-of-place patching).

Parent topic: Patching Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Oracle Databases Using dbaascli

Patching a Database Home (In-Place Database Patching)

To patch an Oracle home, use the dbaascli dbHome patch command.

This will patch all databases running in the specified home, and the databases will remain in the home after the patching is complete. The following apply to using the dbHome patch command for in-place patching operations:
  • You can patch all of your database nodes or a subset of nodes.
  • Multi-node patching takes place in a rolling fashion.
  • Optionally, you can perform a software-only patch operation. Then, when you are ready, you can run datapatch to perform post-patch SQL actions.
  • You can patch an Oracle home containing one or more databases.

To patch an Oracle Home (dbhome):

  1. Connect to the virtual machine as the opc user.

    For detailed instructions, see Connecting to a Virtual Machine with SSH.

  2. Start a root user command shell:
    sudo -s
  3. Run the following command:
    dbaascli dbhome patch --oracleHome dbhome_path --targetVersion Oracle_Database_version
    Where:
    • --oracleHome identifies the path of the Oracle home to be patched.
    • --targetVersion specifies the target Oracle Database version to use for patching, specified as five numeric segments separated by periods (e.g. 19.12.0.0.0).
    For example:
    dbaascli dbhome patch --oracleHome /u02/app/oracle/product/19.0.0.0/dbhome_2 --targetVersion 19.9.0.0.0
  4. Exit the root user command shell:
    exit

    For more details on advanced supported options, see dbaascli dbHome patch.

Moving a Database to a Different Oracle Home (Out-of-Place Patching)

To patch an Oracle Database by moving it to an Oracle home that is already at the desired patch level, use the dbaascli database move command.

After the database move operation is complete, the database runs using the Oracle Database software version of the target Oracle Home.

To patch a database by moving it to a different Oracle Home:

  1. Connect to the virtual machine as the opc user.

    For detailed instructions, see Connecting to a Virtual Machine with SSH.

  2. Start a root user command shell:
    sudo -s
  3. Run the following command:
    dbaascli database move --oracleHome path_to_target_oracle_home --dbname database_name
    Where:
    • --oracleHome identifies the path of the target Oracle home that uses the desired Oracle Database software version. Note that the target Oracle home must exist in your system prior to using the database move command.
    • --dbname specifies the name of the database that is being moved.
    For example:
    dbaascli database move --oracleHome /u02/app/oracle/product/19.0.0.0/dbhome_2 --dbname xyz
  4. Exit the root user command shell:
    exit

    For more details on advanced supported options, see dbaascli database move.

Patching Oracle Grid Infrastructure

To apply a patch to Oracle Grid Infrastructure, use the grid patch command.

  1. Connect to the virtual machine as the opc user.

    For detailed instructions, see Connecting to a Virtual Machine with SSH.

  2. Start a root user command shell:
    sudo -s
  3. Run the following command:
    dbaascli grid patch --targetVersion target_software_version_number

    Where --targetVersion identifies target software version that the Oracle Grid Infrastructure will be patched to.

    For example:
    dbaascli grid patch --targetVersion 19.11.0.0.0
  4. Exit the root user command shell:
    exit

    For more details on advanced supported options, see dbaascli grid patch.

Patching Oracle Grid Infrastructure (GI) Using GI Software Image

To patch Oracle Grid Infrastructure (GI) using GI software image, use this procedure.

Oracle Grid Infrastructure can also be patched by first creating a patched software image, and then using that image to perform the patching operation. This provides the advantage that an image can be created ahead of time outside of the patching window. It also helps in conflict resolution as any conflicts among the patches are highlighted during the image creation process without impacting the patching window.

  1. Create a patched software image.
    dbaascli grid patch --targetVersion <target_software_version_number> --createImage
    Once the patched software image creation is completed, the image can then be used for performing the patching operation.
  2. Perform the patching operation.
    dbaascli grid patch --targetVersion <target_software_version_number> --imageLocation <location_of_patched_software_image>

Listing Available Software Images and Versions for Database and Grid Infrastructure

To produce a list of available supported versions for patching, use the dbaascli cswlib showImages command.

  1. Connect to the virtual machine as the opc user.

    For detailed instructions, see Connecting to a Virtual Machine with SSH.

  2. Start a root user command shell:
    sudo -s
  3. Run the following command:
    dbaascli cswlib showImages --product database

    The command output lists the available database software images.

    dbaascli cswlib showImages --product grid

    The command output lists the available grid software images.

  4. Exit the root user command shell:
    exit

Updating Cloud Tooling Using dbaascli

To update the cloud tooling release for Oracle Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure, complete this procedure.

Cloud-specific tooling is used on the Exadata Cloud Infrastructure Guest VMs for local operations, including dbaascli commands.

The cloud tooling is automatically updated by Oracle when new releases are made available. If needed, you can follow the steps below to ensure you have the latest version of the cloud-specific tooling on all of the virtual machines in the VM cluster.
Note

You can update the cloud-specific tooling by downloading and applying a software package containing the updated tools.
  1. Connect to a virtual machine as the opc user.

    For detailed instructions, see Connecting to a Virtual Machine with SSH.

  2. Start a root user command shell:
    sudo -s
  3. To update to the latest available cloud tooling release, run the following command: 
    dbaascli admin updateStack

    The command takes care of updating the cloud tooling release on all the nodes of the cluster.

    For more details and other available options, refer to dbaascli admin updateStack --help.

Creating a Duplicate Database

Using dbaascli to Duplicate a Cloud Database

You can create a duplicate database using dbaascli. This new database can be in the same cloud region as the source region or across the regions. The following steps describe how to create a duplicate database on cloud.

Note

If a database is configured with OCI Vault for TDE encryption and you want to duplicate a database, then refer to the following sections.

Prepare for duplication

Ensure that the following prerequisites are ment:

  • Make sure that there is a network path setup to access the source database through the EZConnect string.
  • Copy the TDE wallet file (ewallet.p12 ) to the target database node. The node where you decide to run the dbaascli command.
  • Create an Oracle home on the target node if required. Oracle home version must be the same version as the source or of higher RU version.

Run prerequisite checks

To run prerequisites checks, use the --executePrereqs command option. This will perform only the prerequisite checks without performing the actual Oracle Database duplication. 

dbaascli database duplicate --dbName <database name> --oracleHome <Oracle Home Path> --sourceDBConnectionString <source database EZConnect string> --sourceDBTDEWalletLocation <location of copied wallet> --sourceDBTdeConfigMethod FILE --tdeConfigMethod FILE --executePrereqs

Duplicate the database

dbaascli database duplicate --dbName <database name> --oracleHome <Oracle Home Path> --sourceDBConnectionString <source database EZConnect string> --sourceDBTDEWalletLocation <location of copied wallet> --sourceDBTdeConfigMethod FILE --tdeConfigMethod FILE

Considerations When Using OCI Vault for the Key Management

This section is applicable only in the case of database is configured with OCI Vault for TDE encryption and you want to duplicate a database.

Duplicating a database within the same region

  • Additional prerequisite steps

    Make sure to setup OCI Vault access policies for target database nodes. Target database nodes should be able to access both source database's OCI key vault along with its new key vault (if it is decided to use separate key vault).

  • Run prerequisite checks
    dbaascli database duplicate --dbName <database name> --oracleHome <Oracle Home Path> --sourceDBConnectionString <source database EZConnect string> --sourceDBTDEWalletLocation <location of copied wallet> --sourceDBTdeConfigMethod KMS --sourceDBKMSKeyOCID <Source Database OCI Vault key OCID> --tdeConfigMethod KMS --kmsKeyOCID <OCI Vault key OCID> --executePrereqs
  • Duplicate the database
    dbaascli database duplicate --dbName <database name> --oracleHome <Oracle Home Path> --sourceDBConnectionString <source database EZConnect string> --sourceDBTDEWalletLocation <location of copied wallet> --sourceDBTdeConfigMethod KMS --sourceDBKMSKeyOCID <Source Database OCI Vault key OCID> --tdeConfigMethod KMS --kmsKeyOCID <OCI Vault key OCID>

    Upon successful completion of this command, the database is duplicated.

Duplicating a database across regions

  • Additional prerequisite steps
  • Run prerequisite checks
    dbaascli database duplicate --dbName <database name> --oracleHome <Oracle Home Path> --sourceDBConnectionString <source database EZConnect string> --sourceDBTDEWalletLocation <location of copied wallet> --sourceDBTdeConfigMethod KMS --sourceDBKMSKeyOCID <Source Database OCI Vault key OCID> --tdeConfigMethod KMS --kmsKeyOCID <OCI Vault key OCID> --executePrereqs
  • Duplicate the database
    dbaascli database duplicate --dbName <database name> --oracleHome <Oracle Home Path> --sourceDBConnectionString <source database EZConnect string> --sourceDBTDEWalletLocation <location of copied wallet> --sourceDBTdeConfigMethod KMS --sourceDBKMSKeyOCID <Source Database OCI Vault key OCID> --tdeConfigMethod KMS --kmsKeyOCID <OCI Vault key OCID>

    Upon successful completion of this command, the database is duplicated.

Duplicate an On-Premises Database

Using dbaascli, you can duplicate an on-prem database onto the cloud. This can be done with the dbaascli database duplicate command. This command creates a new database on the cloud, which is a duplicate of an on-prem database along with its data. While this process is going on, the on-prem database remains still operational. You can migrate your applications to the duplicated database on the cloud after due verification.

Prepare for duplication

The migration process includes the following prerequisites to be met.
  • Make sure that there is a network path setup to access an on-prem database from the OCI node through the EZConnect string.
  • If an on-prem database is configured with TDE, copy the TDE wallet file (ewallet.p12 ) to the OCI node, where you decide to run the dbaascli command.
  • Create an Oracle home on the OCI node if required. The Oracle home version must be the same as the source or of a higher RU version.

Verify the necessary RPMs

This process requires a minimum dbaastools RPM version of 23.3.2.0.0 but updating to the latest dbaastools rpm is always recommended.

  • To check the currently installed version, run:
    dbaascli --version
DBAAS CLI version 23.3.2.0.0
  • To apply the latest tools RPM, as the root user, run:
    # dbaascli admin updateStack

Run the prerequisite checks

To run the prerequisite checks, use the --executePrereqs command option. This will perform only the prerequisite checks without performing the actual Oracle Database duplication.

dbaascli database duplicate --dbName <database name> --oracleHome <Oracle Home Path> --sourceDBConnectionString <source database EZConnect string> --sourceDBTDEWalletLocation <location of copied wallet> --executePrereqs

Duplicate the database

Duplicate the database using the following command:

dbaascli database duplicate --dbName <database name> --oracleHome <Oracle Home Path> --sourceDBConnectionString <source database EZConnect string> --sourceDBTDEWalletLocation <location of copied wallet>

For example:

dbaascli database duplicate --sourceDBConnectionString xyzhost.oracle.com:1521/dbuniquename.oracle.com --dbName orcl --oracleHome /u02/app/oracle/product/19.0.0.0/dbhome_1 --sourceDBTDEWalletLocation /tmp/wallet_copy/tde --waitForCompletion false

Upon successful completion of this command, the database is duplicated to Cloud and ready for sanity checks for application usage. Once verification is done, application connections can be migrated to the Cloud database.

Refer to dbaascli database duplicate –help for additional configuration options.

Few considerations for migration

  • If you prefer to allocate multiple channels for RMAN duplicate, you could do so by specifying the --rmanParallelism argument.
  • Exadata Cloud Service configures database memory as Automatic Shared Memory Management (ASMM). If your on-prem database is configured with different memory management, make sure to adjust memory parameter values accordingly on the OCI side by providing values for --sgaSizeInMB and --pgaSizeInMB.
  • Verify that the on-prem database does not contain any deprecated or invalid initialization parameters.
  • Database initialization parameters related to database storage (datafile location, redo location, recovery area destination, control file multiplexing) may be changed using the --initParams argument.

    For example, to override db_create_online_log_dest value for the duplicate database: --initParams db_create_online_log_dest_1=+DATAC1,db_create_online_log_dest_2=+RECOC1

Troubleshooting the database duplication

  • dbaascli operation log file can be found under /var/opt/oracle/log/<dbname>/database/duplicate
  • One of the jobs of the duplicate is to run dbca. Its log file can be found under /u02/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/dbca and /u02/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/dbca/<dbuniquename>.

If the operation fails, you will have an option to resume the operation by providing the --resume argument to the same command. Alternatively, clean up the database using dbaascli database delete –dbname <dbname> –force, and then rerun the database duplicate command.

    • Introduced a way to create the Grid Infrastructure (GI) software image prior to patching. This GI image can be subsequently used for performing the GI patching operation. The advantage of this approach is that it results in reduced patching window as the image is already prepared. The GI stack on the node is not brought down to create the image. For details, see createImage option in dbaascli grid patch --help
    • Introduced a way to perform the Grid Infrastructure patching through the use of user specified GI software image, created using createImage option of the dbaascli grid patch command. For details, see imageLocation option in dbaascli grid patch --help.
  • Change Password support in Data Guard environment:
    • Added support to change password in Data Guard environments. For details, see dbaascli database changePassword --help and dbaascli dataguard prepareStandbyBlob --help
  • Data Guard configuration:
    • Added support to update Data Guard Automation Attributes (in the /var/opt/oracle/dg/dg.conf file). For details, see dbaascli dataguard --help.
  • Various bug fixes and stability improvements

  • Included AHF version 21.4.1
  • Bug fixes and stability improvements

Parent topic: Release Notes

Release 21.4.1.1.0

  • Enabled encryption of the system level tablespaces (SYSTEM, SYSAUX, UNDO, and TEMP) for databases that will get created with this version of dbaastools onwards. This feature is enabled for Oracle Database version 19.6.0.0.0 and above.
  • Grid Patching:
    • Prerequisite condition added to check for following file ownership to be owned by grid user. 
      • <gi_home>/suptools/tfa/release/tfa_home/jlib/jdev-rt.jar
      • <gi_home>/suptools/tfa/release/tfa_home/jlib/jewt4.jar
  • Database Patching:
    • Simultaneous database move operation is disallowed by default. A new option –allowParallelDBMove is introduced that can be used to override the default behavior for Oracle Database releases 12.2 and above.
    • Fixed issues related to move of standby databases being in MOUNT mode.
  • Database Backup and Recovery:
    • Added new command-line options for database backup. For more details, refer to dbaascli database backup command reference.
    • Added new command-line options for database recovery. For more details, refer to dbaascli database recover command reference.
    • bkup_api usage for backup and recovery operations will be deprecated in future.
    • To align with the Oracle recommended practice of using SYSBACKUP administrative privilege for Backup and Recovery operations, cloud automation creates a common administrative user C##DBLCMUSER with SYSBACKUP role at the CDB$ROOT container level. Backup and Recovery operations are therefore performed with the user having the least required privileges. Credentials for this user are randomly generated and securely managed by cloud automation. If the user is not found or is LOCKED and EXPIRED, then cloud automation will recreate or unlock this user during the backup or recovery operation. This change in the cloud automation is made starting with dbaastools version 21.4.1.1.0.
  • Enhanced dbaascli resume functionality to resume any previous session by specifying the –sessionID <value> argument to the resume command. The session ID is shared in the dbaascli output as well as in the logs.
  • Enhanced dbaascli help output to show the command usage.
  • Deprecated the usage of dbaascli shell (interactive session). This will be completely unsupported after March 2022. It is recommended to execute complete dbaascli commands on command prompt as suggested in all document examples.

dbaascli Command Reference

You must use dbaascli to create databases and integrate them with the cloud automation framework.

dbaascli is a cloud native interface that can take DBCA templates as inputs, calls the functionality of DBCA to create databases, and then calls OCI APIs to integrate the database into the cloud automation framework. Customers using DBCA in scripts today can update their existing scripts to call dbaascli instead of DBCA. If dbaascli cannot be used due to a particular feature of DBCA being unavailable in dbaascl, then customers should open a My Oracle Support (MOS) request to add that functionality to dbaascli.

To use the dbaascli utility, you must be connected to an Exadata Cloud Infrastructure compute node. See Connecting to an Exadata Cloud Infrastructure Instance for instructions.

Some dbaascli commands can be run as the oracle or the opc user, but many commands require root administrator privileges. Refer to each command for specific requirements.

Note

By default, TCPS is enabled for databases on Oracle Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure systems.
Note

TCPS is not enabled for databases on Exadata Database Service on Cloud@Customer systems. To enable TCPS for a given database, update the database specific sqlnet.ora file with WALLET_LOCATION = (SOURCE=(METHOD=FILE)(METHOD_DATA=(DIRECTORY=/var/opt/oracle/dbaas_acfs/grid/tcps_wallets))) on all database nodes and then bounce the database. This will enable TCPS usage for the database. However, enabling TCPS will cause ZDLRA connection to fail. On Exadata Database Service on Cloud@Customer systems, you can enable either ZDLRA or TCPS configuration. Enabling both ZDLRA and TCPS simultaneously will not work.
