  • 1.  stop and start VDB with the toolkit

    Posted 07-23-2022 05:46:00 AM

    Hi Team,

    We have one requirement for the dxtoolkit CLI.

    We need to be able to stop (shutdown) a VDB and then start it up using the dxtoolkit CLI.

    If possible, please could anyone paste any example syntax to show how to do this.
    ie the equivalent command to;

    srvctl stop/start database.

    Thanks in advance for any help with this.

    Best regards,

    John

    Hi John-

    You'll want to review the command usage for dx_ctl_db which (implied by its title) offers control over datasets. The documentation page for this command includes help output (copied below) and usage examples.

    https://github.com/delphix/dxtoolkit/wiki/dx_ctl_db

    dx_ctl_db    [ -engine|d <delphix identifier> | -all ] [ -configfile file ]
                 [ -group group_name | -name db_name | -host host_name | -type dsource|vdb | -instancename instname | -olderthan date | -dsource dsource_name | -envname env_name]
                 [-instance inst_no][-reponame repository_name]
                 <-action start|stop|enable|disable>
                 [-restore filename]
                 [-force false|onfailure|only]
                 [-parallel n]
                 [-help|? ]
                 [-debug ]
    The usage is pretty straight-forward:

    ~/work/dxtoolkit/dxtoolkit2$ ./dx_ctl_db -d sean6015 -action stop -name VCDO_8EU
    Stopping database VCDO_8EU.
    Starting job JOB-52 for database VCDO_8EU.
    0 - 36 - 100
    Job JOB-52 finished with state: COMPLETED
    Hope this helps!  The documentation pages are really the best resource for command usage, and the -help option is always available as well to confirm with your current installation.
