CREATING the Exadata Storage cell Objects (CREATE)
The below commands will be used most commonly on exadata storage to create the virtual objects.
CREATE CELL <CELL_NAME> interconnect1=<ethx> Configures the cell network CellCLI> CREATE CELL uaexacell1 interconnect1
Starting CELLSRV services…
The STARTUP of CELLSRV services was successful. Flash cell disks, FlashCache, and FlashLog will be created.

DELETING the Exadata Storage cell Objects (DROP)
The below mentioned cellcli commands will help you to remove the various objects on the exadata storage cell. Be
carefully with “force” option since it can remove the object even though it is in use.

DROP ALERTHISTORY <ALER1>, <ALERT2> Removes the specific

alert from the cell’s alert
history. CellCLI> DROP ALERTHISTORY 2 Alert 2 successfully dropped CellCLI> DROP ALERTHISTORY ALL Removes all alert from
the cell’s alert history.
