Series: Oracle Exadata Command Reference by Arup Nanda

A very famous and world known Oracle expert Mr. Arup Nanda has written a four series article about Oracle Exadata technologies. The four-part series contains the following:

• Part 1: Jumpstarting on Exadata – a quick primer on Exadata, its components and inner workings. If you are new to Exadata, this installment is definitely for you.
• Part 2: Command Categories, Configuration, and Basic Commands – an overview of the categories of commands you need to master, and a look at the different configuration activities after you get a brand-new Exadata rack
• Part 3: Storage Management – a detailed explanation of the CellCLI and DCLI commands, all their parameters and options, and how they are used for managing storage cells
• Part 4: Metrics and Reporting – a system is not very useful unless you can measure its effectiveness and fine-tune it. This installment will explain the commands related to gathering statistics and reports on Grid Control and how they are used for troubleshooting.
