OAKCLI Syntax
Oracle Appliance Manager command-line interface commands and parameters are
case-insensitive.
An oakcli command uses the following command syntax:
oakcli command object [options]
• command is an action you want to perform on the appliance. For example: show,
locate, apply.
• object is the target or object on which the oakcli command performs the
operation. For example, you issue a command to create or configure a disk, or a
controller, or perform other system or software administration. You can also use
object abbreviations.
• options are optional parts of the oakcli command. Options can consist of one or
more options that extend the use of the oakcli 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. Many options require the
name of an object for the command to perform the action that you want to carry
out. The help option (-h) is an option that is available with every command. When
you include the -h option, you can obtain additional information about the
command that you want to perform.
