Description

Oracle RAC or Real Application Clusters is a grid computing solution that allows multiple nodes (servers) in a clustered system to mount and open a single database that resides on shared disk storage. Should a single system (node) fail, the database service will still be available on the remaining nodes. Oracle RAC is an integral part of the Oracle database setup. You have one database with multiple users accessing it, in real time. This book will enable DBAs to get their finger on the pulse of the Oracle 11g RAC environment quickly and easily.This book will cover all areas of the Oracle RAC environment and is indispensable if you are an Oracle DBA who is charged with configuring and implementing Oracle11g R1, with bonus R2 information included. This book presents a complete method for the configuration, installation, and design of Oracle 11g RAC, ultimately enabling rapid administration of Oracle 11g RAC environments.This practical handbook documents how to administer a complex Oracle 11g RAC environment. Packed with real world examples, expert tips and troubleshooting advice, the book begins by introducing the concept of Oracle RAC and High Availability. It then dives deep into the world of RAC configuration, installation and design, enabling you to support complex RAC environments for real world deployments. Chapters cover Oracle RAC and High Availability, Oracle 11g RAC Architecture, Oracle 11g RAC Installation, Automatic Storage Management, Troubleshooting, Workload Management and much more. By following the practical examples in this book, you will learn every concept of the RAC environment and how to successfully support complex Oracle 11g R1 and R2 RAC environments for various deployments within real world situations. This book is the updated release of our previous Oracle 11g R1/R2 Real Application Clusters Handbook. If you already own a copy of that Handbook, there is no need to upgrade to this book.

This book guides the reader through detail design and implementation of Oracle RAC with good examples. It can really help for beginners as well as well as DBA's who have knowledge on 10gRAC.It is easy to understand, because it has detailed steps and nice screen shots.

Wissem Jul 31, 2011

The authors, Ben Prusinski and Syed Jaffer Hussain , have successfully managed to write an excellent book about RAC 11gR1 and RAC 11gR2, something not really easy to accomplish, and they have clearly demonstrated the differences between both releases.From the concept to the syntax, this book covers what is needed to successfully build a RAC environment. It focuses on concepts, installation, administration, backup and recovery, streams and data guard. If you want to build a highly available environment, this book is for you.The two first chapters clearly focus on the high availability concepts and architecture of a RAC environment. Many DBAs jump directly to the syntax and forget about the concepts and the architecture. Those DBA will face serious problems with each new release of Oracle RAC. I highly recommend to read those 2 first chapters before jumping to the others. If you are a single instance DBA who never managed to install Oracle clusters, these two first chapters are also for you; read them and learn how to design the ley components like networks and storage.Chapters 3 and 4 discuss Oracle Clusterware installation including grid infrastructure and ASM. They help you build the first components of your clusterware.Chapter 5 is about managing and troubleshooting Oracle 11g . After installing the grid infrastructure you will be faced with many background processes. This chapter teaches you the commands to successfully administer your clusterware components as well as troubleshooting any cluster issue.Chapter 6 is about installing the RAC database with many tips and best practices to follow.Chapter 7 deals with back up and recovery of RAC databases. One of the most important task for a HA DBA. Tips and suggestions have been provided in this chapter.After building the RAC environment, every DBA should care about the database performance; chapter 8 covers the most important components to focus on in your day to day monitoring.Chapter 9 covers the upgrade of Oracle 10g R2 Clusterware to Oracle 11g R1 and how to Upgrade to Oracle 11g R2 Clusterware. This is a really important task for any HA DBA.The chapter 10, in my opinion, one of the best chapters of this book, is about real-world examples; the authors shared their extensive experience of practical scenarios and examples.The book ends with a great appendix containing a vast amount of Oracle RAC commands and tips.In summary, the authors have produced a work of great quality and value. I recommend this book to all DBAs working on RAC systems for the following reasons: * Clear explanation of RAC concepts and architecture. * Clear step by step installation of clusterware and RAC databases. * Real-world examples and tips. * Troubleshooting guide for most common performance issues in RAC. * Good summary of the most important RAC commands.
