                                                                                                            Trainer: - Sujeet jha
                                                                                                            Duration: 5 Days
What you will learn:
In this intensive course, you'll learn about the Oracle Grid Infrastructure products. This includes
Oracle Automatic Storage Manager (ASM), ASM Cluster File System and Oracle Clusterware.

Learn To:
Describe the Oracle Database 11g Grid Infrastructure.
Administer both Policy and Administrator managed RAC databases.
Install and configure Grid Infrastructure.
Describe Oracle Database 11g RAC enhancements and new features.
Describe Grid Plug and Play.
Use Oracle Clusterware to make applications highly available.

Oracle Clusterware
You'll also learn to administer the Oracle Clusterware and storage products using both command
line utilities and graphical tools. Administration of ASM and ACFS will be done using both
command line and graphical user interface clients.
 
Troubleshoot & Debug
This course will help you leverage the Oracle Clusterware to make applications highly available,
supporting monitoring and failover to other nodes. You'll learn to troubleshoot the Oracle
Clusterware by examining log files, enabling debugging and enabling tracing for various utilities.
 
RAC Database Administration
Instructors will review RAC database administration in the Oracle Grid Infrastructure environment.
Learn to administer cluster databases using Enterprise Manager and command-line utilities like
SRVCTL, CRSCTL, and SQL*Plus.
 
New Connection Architecture
You'll also study the new connection architecture and how to make those connections highly
available. Review backup and recovery issues relative to cluster database environments.
This is an accelerated course, covering 7 days worth of content in only 5 days. Because of this
extra content, the duration of classes can be slightly longer than usual. This course is based on
Oracle Database 11g Release 2.
