NAME

DESCRIPTION

An initial database is created on the DB system based on the request parameters you provide and some default options. For detailed information about default options, see Bare metal and virtual machine DB system default options. <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/Database/Tasks/creatingDBsystem.htm#Default>

Note: Deprecated for Exadata Cloud Service systems. Use the new resource model APIs <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/Database/Concepts/exaflexsystem.htm#exaflexsystem_topic-resource_model> instead.

For Exadata Cloud Service instances, support for this API will end on May 15th, 2021. See Switching an Exadata DB System to the New Resource Model and APIs <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/Database/Concepts/exaflexsystem_topic-resource_model_conversion.htm> for details on converting existing Exadata DB systems to the new resource model.

Use the CreateCloudExadataInfrastructure <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/tools/oci-cli/latest/oci_cli_docs/cmdref/db/cloud-exa-infra/create.html> and CreateCloudVmCluster <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/tools/oci-cli/latest/oci_cli_docs/cmdref/db/cloud-vm-cluster/create.html> APIs to provision a new Exadata Cloud Service instance.

USAGE

oci db system launch [OPTIONS]

REQUIRED PARAMETERS

A strong password for SYS, SYSTEM, and PDB Admin. The password must be at least nine characters and contain at least two uppercase, two lowercase, two numbers, and two special characters. The special characters must be _, #, or -.

The availability domain where the DB system is located.

The OCID <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/General/Concepts/identifiers.htm> of the compartment the DB system belongs in.

The number of CPU cores to enable for a bare metal or Exadata DB system or AMD VMDB Systems. The valid values depend on the specified shape:

This parameter is not used for INTEL virtual machine DB systems because virtual machine DB systems have a set number of cores for each shape. For information about the number of cores for a virtual machine DB system shape, see Virtual Machine DB Systems <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/Database/Concepts/overview.htm#virtualmachine>

The Oracle Database Edition that applies to all the databases on the DB system. Exadata DB systems and 2-node RAC DB systems require ENTERPRISE_EDITION_EXTREME_PERFORMANCE.

Accepted values are:

ENTERPRISE_EDITION, ENTERPRISE_EDITION_EXTREME_PERFORMANCE, ENTERPRISE_EDITION_HIGH_PERFORMANCE, STANDARD_EDITION

The database name. It must begin with an alphabetic character and can contain a maximum of eight alphanumeric characters. Special characters are not permitted.

A valid Oracle database version. To get a list of supported versions, use the command ‘oci db version list’.

The hostname for the DB system. The hostname must begin with an alphabetic character, and can contain alphanumeric characters and hyphens (-). The maximum length of the hostname is 16 characters for bare metal and virtual machine DB systems, and 12 characters for Exadata DB systems.

The maximum length of the combined hostname and domain is 63 characters.

Note: The hostname must be unique within the subnet. If it is not unique, the DB system will fail to provision.

The shape of the DB system. The shape determines resources allocated to the DB system. - For virtual machine shapes, the number of CPU cores and memory - For bare metal and Exadata shapes, the number of CPU cores, memory, and storage

To get a list of shapes, use the ListDbSystemShapes <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/tools/oci-cli/latest/oci_cli_docs/cmdref/db/system-shape/list.html> operation.

A file containing one or more public SSH keys to use for SSH access to the DB System. Use a newline character to separate multiple keys. The length of the combined keys cannot exceed 10,000 characters.

The OCID <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/General/Concepts/identifiers.htm> of the subnet the DB system is associated with.

Subnet Restrictions: - For bare metal DB systems and for single node virtual machine DB systems, do not use a subnet that overlaps with 192.168.16.16/28. - For Exadata and virtual machine 2-node RAC DB systems, do not use a subnet that overlaps with 192.168.128.0/20.

These subnets are used by the Oracle Clusterware private interconnect on the database instance. Specifying an overlapping subnet will cause the private interconnect to malfunction. This restriction applies to both the client subnet and the backup subnet.

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

If set to true, schedules backups automatically. Default is false.

A list of the OCIDs <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/General/Concepts/identifiers.htm> of the network security groups (NSGs) that the backup network of this DB system belongs to. Setting this to an empty array after the list is created removes the resource from all NSGs. For more information about NSGs, see Security Rules <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/Network/Concepts/securityrules.htm>. Applicable only to Exadata systems. This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

The OCID <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/General/Concepts/identifiers.htm> of the backup network subnet the DB system is associated with. Applicable only to Exadata DB systems.

The OCID of database software image. This Custom Database Software Image will be used to create the database instead of Oracle-published Database Software Images

The database unique name. It must be greater than 3 characters, but at most 30 characters, begin with a letter, and contain only letters, numbers, and underscores. The first eight characters must also be unique within a Database Domain and within a Database System or VM Cluster. In addition, if it is not on a VM Cluster it might either be identical to the database name or prefixed by the datbase name and followed by an underscore.

Database workload type. Allowed values are: OLTP, DSS

Defined tags for this resource. Each key is predefined and scoped to a namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/General/Concepts/resourcetags.htm>. This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

The type of redundancy configured for the DB system. Normal is 2-way redundancy, recommended for test and development systems. High is 3-way redundancy, recommended for production systems.

Accepted values are:

HIGH, NORMAL

The user-friendly name for the DB system. The name does not have to be unique.

A domain name used for the DB system. If the Oracle-provided Internet and VCN Resolver is enabled for the specified subnet, the domain name for the subnet is used (do not provide one). Otherwise, provide a valid DNS domain name. Hyphens (-) are not permitted.

A Fault Domain is a grouping of hardware and infrastructure within an availability domain. Fault Domains let you distribute your instances so that they are not on the same physical hardware within a single availability domain. A hardware failure or maintenance that affects one Fault Domain does not affect DB systems in other Fault Domains.

If you do not specify the Fault Domain, the system selects one for you. To change the Fault Domain for a DB system, terminate it and launch a new DB system in the preferred Fault Domain.

If the node count is greater than 1, you can specify which Fault Domains these nodes will be distributed into. The system assigns your nodes automatically to the Fault Domains you specify so that no Fault Domain contains more than one node.

To get a list of Fault Domains, use the ListFaultDomains <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/tools/oci-cli/latest/oci_cli_docs/cmdref/iam/fault-domain/list.html> operation in the Identity and Access Management Service API.

Example:

FAULT-DOMAIN-1

This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

Free-form tags for this resource. Each tag is a simple key-value pair with no predefined name, type, or namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/General/Concepts/resourcetags.htm>.

Example:

{"Department": "Finance"}

This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

Provide input to this command as a JSON document from a file using the file://path-to/file syntax.

The --generate-full-command-json-input option can be used to generate a sample json file to be used with this command option. The key names are pre-populated and match the command option names (converted to camelCase format, e.g. compartment-id –> compartmentId), while the values of the keys need to be populated by the user before using the sample file as an input to this command. For any command option that accepts multiple values, the value of the key can be a JSON array.

Options can still be provided on the command line. If an option exists in both the JSON document and the command line then the command line specified value will be used.

For examples on usage of this option, please see our “using CLI with advanced JSON options” link: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliusing.htm#AdvancedJSONOptions
