A major prerequisite for the usage and deployment of Oracle database technology is a successful installation. The purpose of this Oracle 11g training course module is to offer a step-by-step guide for the configuration of a Linux or Microsoft Windows server to host an Oracle database Enterprise Edition installation. Especially in a Linux environment installation of the database requires careful preparation, configuration and sometimes troubleshooting in order to succeed. This course includes practical tips learned from many real-world installations which can assist you to achieve a successful installation in your environment. We will explore both a standalone database installation and also a grid infrastructure installation. Major objectives covered within this guide book include: - Configuration of the Linux and Microsoft Windows operating systems in anticipation of a database installation; Performing a Desktop Class installation of the Oracle 11g R2 Enterprise Edition database; - Performing a Server Class installation of the Oracle 11g R2 Enterprise Edition database; - Addressing configuration and setup issues using the FixUp utility;- Verification of a valid database installation; Database administrator and technical support interface options, including the use of Enterprise Manager, command-line SQL*Plus, and terminal console SSH;- Preparing a host system for the Grid Infrastructure and Oracle RDBMS installations and performing those installations;- Preparing a host system for ASM storage management; - Partitioning and configuration of storage devices for ASM storage on both Linux and MS Windows servers; While this course module applies specifically to the installation of the Enterprise Edition of the Oracle database, it covers basic topics which apply to any Oracle software installation. Therefore, this material is also useful for the installation of other Oracle products such as the Oracle Database Client, specialized options for a database server installation, and so on.

This IBM® RedpaperTM publication describes experiences gained while installing Oracle Database 11gR2 with Grid Infrastructure (GI). It covers the set up and installation process for these environments: Setting up Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 with DASD Setting up Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 with FCP/SCSI Setting up SLES11 with DASD Setting up SLES11 with FCP/SCSI disks Examples include the installation of the Grid Infrastructure, installation of a single instance database and installation of a two-node Real Application Cluster (RAC) database. In all cases, we use UDEV rules for DASD and single path SCSI, and multipathing for multi-path SCSI to provide device persistency for ASM storage, not ASMLib. Interested readers would include database consultants, installers, administrators, and system programmers. This is not meant to replace Oracle documentation, but to supplement it with our experiences while installing and using Oracle Database products. We made extensive uses of My Oracle Support notes.

Pro Oracle Database 11g RAC on Linux provides full-life-cycle guidance on implementing Oracle Real Application Clusters in a Linux environment. Real Application Clusters, commonly abbreviated as RAC, is Oracle’s industry-leading architecture for scalable and fault-tolerant databases. RAC allows you to scale up and down by simply adding and subtracting inexpensive Linux servers. Redundancy provided by those multiple, inexpensive servers is the basis for the failover and other fault-tolerance features that RAC provides. Written by authors well-known for their talent with RAC, Pro Oracle Database 11g RAC on Linux gives you a rock-solid and technically flawless foundation on which to build your RAC-management skills. Authors Julian Dyke and Steve Shaw share their hard-won experience in building RAC clusters, showing you how to build for success using the very latest Oracle technologies, such as Automatic Storage Management (ASM) and Oracle Clusterware. You’ll learn to troubleshoot performance and other problems. You’ll even learn how to correctly deploy RAC in a virtual-machine environment based upon Oracle VM, which is the only virtualization solution supported by Oracle Corporation. RAC is a complex and powerful technology. It demands expertise in its deployment. You can’t just “wing it” in creating a RAC solution. Julian and Steve have earned the right to term themselves expert—in Pro Oracle Database 11g RAC on Linux, they offer a rigorous and technically-correct treatment of RAC that helps you build a solid foundation of expertise and achieve success. Rigorous and technically accurate content Complete coverage of RAC, from planning to implementation to rollout to ongoing maintenance and troubleshooting Up-to-date with the very latest RAC features
