The Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant (OEDA) command-line interface (oedacli) is a new interface you can use to update an existing es.xml file. These updates are called Actions. An Action is a single atomic task. An example of an Action might be to create a new Guest. An Action can have many sub commands; however, most actions are single commands. Examples of multi-command steps are CLONE GUEST and CLONE CELL.

You can use oedacli to help with various Exadata life cycle management tasks, such as:

• Add node to or remove node from a Virtual Cluster on Oracle Exadata Database Machine

• Add database home to or remove database home from physical cluster

• Add or remove storage cells

• Resize Oracle ASM disk groups

• Add or remove additional databases

• Add or remove additional database homes to an Oracle VM cluster

See About the OEDA Command Line Interface in the Oracle Exadata Database Machine Installation and Configuration Guide for details.
