Pro Oracle Database 11g RAC on Linux - 11g Release 2

More about the book

Pro Oracle Database 11g RAC on Linux offers comprehensive guidance on implementing Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) in a Linux setting. RAC is Oracle’s premier architecture for scalable and fault-tolerant databases, allowing for easy scaling by adding or removing affordable Linux servers. The redundancy from these servers underpins the failover and fault-tolerance features of RAC. Authored by experts Julian Dyke and Steve Shaw, this resource provides a robust foundation for developing RAC-management skills. Drawing from their extensive experience, the authors detail how to construct successful RAC clusters using the latest Oracle technologies, including Automatic Storage Management (ASM) and Oracle Clusterware. The book covers troubleshooting performance issues and deploying RAC in a virtual-machine environment with Oracle VM, the only virtualization solution supported by Oracle Corporation. Given the complexity of RAC technology, expertise in its deployment is essential; it cannot be approached casually. Dyke and Shaw’s rigorous and technically sound treatment of RAC equips readers with the knowledge needed to build a solid expertise foundation and achieve success in their RAC implementations.
