The ODA X6 comes with a new command line (odacli) which replaces oakcli, and with a small web console which can display information about the appliance, the databases and the provisioning jobs. It also has the possibility to create a database, but this is for next blog post. In this post I’ll show which information are displayed once the ODA is installed.
The examples here come from ODA X6 version: 12.1.2.7.0
Appliance
The first screen is about the appliance information, the ones that you define when installed the ODA:
The same information can be displayed from command line with odacli describe-appliance:
[root@odax6m ~]# odacli describe-appliance

There’s also no mention of virtualization because ODA X6 2S and 2M are only bare-metal.

Refresh
Those that all the screens are not refreshed automatically even when you navigate through them. Don’t forget the ‘Refresh’ button (circular arrow) on top-right.
JSON
You can also build your own interface from the JSON format:
[root@odax6m ~]# odacli list-jobs -j
[ {
"jobId" : "1b99d278-6ab4-4ead-a5f8-f112c74a8f97",
"status" : "Success",
"message" : null,
"createTimestamp" : 1472215886601,
"description" : "Provisioning service creation"
}, {
"jobId" : "f0ac9a2c-ba37-412c-8a81-9cc7cb301417",
"status" : "Success",
"message" : null,
"createTimestamp" : 1472220219016,
"description" : "Database service creation with db name: odb1s"
}, {
"jobId" : "dec37817-feb7-46e5-b991-b23362268cb1",
"status" : "Success",
"message" : null,
"createTimestamp" : 1472224173747,
"description" : "Database service creation with db name: dbee11g1"
} ]So what?
ODA is for easy and fast provisioning and the GUI that was missing is finally there. Of course, it looks very simple, but that’s the goal of the appliance: setup quickly a standardized environment. ODA X6-2S is cheap and has good performance for small databases. You may find equivalent hardware, but can you build and install a stable hardware, OS and database in 30 minutes?
