Oracle RAC Administration Training
Duration: 3 Days
In this class Oracle Certified Master John Watson will teach you how to install, configure and manage Oracle Real Application Clusters databases. Emphasis is placed on manual, command line techniques. Knowledge of the single instance database architecture is a prerequisite. Detailed knowledge of Grid Infrastructure (ASM and Clusterware) is not essential, but may be beneficial.Each student is provided with a pre-built cluster, with Grid Infrastructure and shared storage (both ASM and a clustered file system) configured. The course is workshop oriented: students will go through practical exercises that cover all the tasks likely to be needed when creating, migrating to, and administering RAC databases.
Configuring MAA (Maximum Availability Architecture, RAC plus Data Guard) is discussed and (time, interest, and background knowledge permitting) can be included as demonstration or exercise.
Objectives
- Create clustered databases, convert from single instance to RAC
- Carry out basic RAC administration, backup and recovery, and performance tuning
- Configure RAC database services for zero downtime
- Use GI to manage virtual IP addresses
- Configure shared storage
