MySQL provision operations via CLI | Ecosystem Hub

To create a VDB from CLI you must create a dSource first. Instructions on how to create dSource from CLI, refer to MySQL link operation via CLI section.

To create VDB and perform the VDB operations from CLI, you first need to log in to the Delphix Continuous Data Engine with the admin user.

ssh admin@<CONTINUOUS-DATA-FQDN-or-IP>

Provision

Here we are using dSource testdb.

Example - 

database provision
set type=AppDataProvisionParameters
set container.name=testvdb
set container.group=Untitled 
set source.allowAutoVDBRestartOnHostReboot=true
set sourceConfig.repository="(MySQL Community Server (GPL)) 5.7.38"set timeflowPointParameters.container=testdb
set sourceConfig.name=testscfgv
set source.parameters="{\"vdbUser\":\"root\",\"vdbPass\":\"Password_String\",\"port\":3310,\"baseDir\":\"/usr\",\"serverId\":202,\"mPath\":\"/mnt/vdb_mount\",\"config_settings_prov\":[]}"commit
