Introduction Overview This course is designed for anyone interested in implementing a Real Application Clusters (RAC) database. Although coverage is general, most of the examples and labs in this course are Linux based. Knowledge of and experience with Oracle Database 10g architecture are assumed. Lecture material is supplemented with hands-on practices. Course Objectives In this course, you: Learn the principal concepts of RAC Install the RAC components Administer database instances in a RAC and ASM environment Manage services Back up and recover RAC databases Monitor and tune performance of a RAC database Administer Oracle Clusterware Typical Schedule A History of Innovation What Is a Cluster? Interconnected nodesact as a single server. Cluster software hides the structure. Disks are availablefor read andwrite by all nodes. Operating systemis the same on each machine. What Is Oracle Real Application Clusters? Multiple instancesaccessing the samedatabase One Instance per node Physical orlogical accessto each database file Software-controlleddata access Why Use RAC High availability: Survive node and instance failures. Scalability: Add more nodes as you need them in the future. Pay as you grow: Pay for just what you need today. Key grid computing features: Growth and shrinkage on demand Single-button addition of servers Automatic workload management for services Clusters and Scalability Levels of Scalability Hardware: Disk input/output (I/O) Internode communication: High bandwidth and low latency Operating system: Number of CPUs Database management system: Synchronization Application: Design Scaleup and Speedup Speedup/Scaleup and Workloads I/O Throughput Balanced: Example Typical Components Performance Throughput Performance Component theory (Bit/s) maximal Byte/s HBA ?
