How to create a pluggable database with dbca using the command line

In the following code snippet, I am creating the pluggable database "pdb3" as a copy of the already existing pluggable database "pdb1":

dbca -silent -createPluggableDatabase \
-sourceDB cdb.skead.no \
-pdbName pdb3 \
-sourcePDB pdb1 \
-createPDBFrom PDB \
-pdbDatafileDestination "/dbfiles/oradata/cdb/pdb3/" \
-pdbAdminPassword mysecretpassword1 \
-sysPassword mysecretpassword2 \
-systemPassword mysecretpassword3 \

If you want to use the SEED database as source instead of an already existing database, remove the directive

-sourcePDB pdb1 \

and use this directive instead:

-createPDBFrom DEFAULT \
