            [[ -osw <days> ]] | [[ -oak <days> ]] |
            [[ -extra '<folder>':<days> | [[, '<folder>':<days>]] ]]
            [[ -lsnr ]]
            [[ -dryrun ]]

  -days <days> Purge components logs & traces older then # days
  -orcl <days> Purge only GI/RDBMS logs & traces (Default 30 days)
  -tfa <days> Purge only TFA repository older then # days (Default 30 days)
  -osw <days> Purge only OSW archives older then # days (Default 30 days)
  -oak <days> Purge only OAK logs and trace older then # days (Default 30 days)
  -extra '<folder>':<days> Purge only files in user specified folders (Default 30 days)

  purgeODALog -days 20
  purgeODALog -orcl 50
  purgeODALog -orcl 50 -lsnr
  purgeODALog -tfa 50
  purgeODALog -osw 20 -oak 10
  purgeODALog -orcl 20 -osw 20 -oak 10
  purgeODALog -orcl 20 -osw 20 -oak 10 -extra /tmp:10,/var/log:20

oakcli deploy oda_base

oakcli create database -d <database name>
e.g.
oakcli create database -d prod

For upgrades etc., you can create a new ORACLE_HOME like this

create dbhome -version <RDBMS version>
e.g.
create dbhome -version 12.1.0.2

oakcli upgrade database -db <dbname> -to <destination home name>
e.g.
oakcli upgrade database -db prod -to 11r2_dbhome1

oakcli upgrade database -from <source home name> -to <destination home name>
e.g.
oakcli upgrade database -from 11r1_dbhome1 -to 11r2_dbhome1

oakcli show vm

oakcli configure vm sdtcsynodadb3a -failover true -prefnode 0

oakcli start vm sdtcsynodadb3a
