Oracle Database 10g: RAC for Administrators Release 2

Duration: 5 Days

What you will learnThis course offers students an introduction to the general features and capabilities of Oracle Database 10g Release 2for Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC). Students learn how to install and administer OracleClusterware, RealApplication Clusters, and Automatic Storage Management. Students also learn how to administer their Database in aReal Application Clusters environment using Enterprise Manager Grid Control. Increase your efficiency by learning howto configure and use database services as well as the Load Balancing Advisory in a RAC environment. Learn how toadd and remove nodes in clusters and how to patch both Oracle Clusterware and Real Application Clusters software ina rolling fashion.

This course counts toward the Hands-on course requirement for the following certifications
