Description:
This Oracle Database 12c: Clusterware & RAC Admin Accelerated training covers 8 days worth of content in only 5
days. It starts with the Oracle Database 12c: Clusterware Administration course (4 days) and then covers the Oracle
RAC database architecture(4 days); learn how these products work together.
Learn To:
Perform Grid Infrastructure pre-installation tasks.
Install both Standard and Flex clusters.
Add and remove nodes from a cluster in addition to upgrading and patching existing Grid Homes.
Manage and administer both Standard Clusters and Policy-Managed Clusters.
Use Oracle Clusterware to make applications highly available.
Install Oracle RAC software.
Create cluster databases.
Administer both administrator and policy-managed Oracle RAC databases.
Monitor and address performance issues.
Learn about services in a RAC environment as well as highly available connection features including Application
Continuity and Transaction Guard.
Create and administer a RAC One Node Database.
Create and manage multitennant RAC databases.
Benefits to You
By taking this course, you'll know how to make applications highly available using Oracle Clusterware and RAC. You'll
walk away with the ability to install, configure, manage and troubleshoot both Oracle Clusterware and Oracle RAC
software. Ensure fast, reliable, secure and easy to manage performance as you learn to optimize database workloads,
lower IT costs and deliver a higher quality of service by enabling consolidation onto database clouds.
