Special note
This course incorporates hands-on labs: In this class, you will gain hands-on experience as you implement a Disaster Tolerant Architecture.
Course overview
This lab-intensive course trains experienced system administrators how to use cluster technology with a Quorum service and appropriate LVM structures to support Oracle 9i and Oracle 10g in data center environments. Students will set up and test a failover cluster, upgrade and downgrade clusters to support 2-node and 4-node configurations, explore "extended distance clusters", develop a basic CFS environment, upgrade from Oracle 9i, Oracle 10g RAC and configure a Continental Cluster.
Prerequisites
POSIX shell programming (H4322S) OR experience in shell scripting
HP-UX system and network administration I (H3064S)
HP-UX system and network administration II (H3065S)
Configure a separate cluster with the Quorum service as a package
On individual clusters, set up the LVM structures needed for Oracle 9i and for Oracle 10g
Understand a Cluster File System (CFS)
Using VxVM setup, multi-node packages, diskgroup packages and mount point packages, learn how to create a Serviceguard CFS cluster
Configure and test Oracle 9i as a failover cluster
Upgrade individual clusters to 4-node clusters, and downgrade back to individual 2-node clusters
Discuss and understand "extended distance clusters"
Upgrade from an Oracle 9i failover cluster to an Oracle 10g RAC cluster
Understand and configure a Continental Cluster
Benefits to you
Protect your mission critical applications database against a wide variety of hardware and software failures through effective use of Oracle 9i/10g in a Serviceguard environment
Understand how Cluster File Systems (CFS) can achieve fast failover and facilitate management of applications
Learn how to maintain a complex Oracle environment using SGeRAC
Maintain a complex Oracle environment using SGeRAC
Reduce your database downtime by using Oracle's RAC in conjunction with Serviceguard
Course outline
Introduction
Understand the function and purpose of a Quorum Server
Understand the function and purpose of a Quorum Server package running on another cluster
Understand the difference between configuring a Quorum Server and configuring Quorum Service as a package running on another cluster
Cluster and Quorum Server Configuration
Locate, download, and install the Quorum Server software
Configure a Serviceguard cluster
Configure a Serviceguard package to provide Quorum service
Ensure that the cluster and package are running correctly
Configure the LVM volume groups and logical volumes needed for Oracle
Configure the file systems needed for Oracle in later modules
Serviceguard and Oracle 9i Failover Cluster
Distinguish between different Cluster Architectures
Describe the Cluster Architecture required for Oracle RAC
Create and package the Oracle application for a Serviceguard environment
Serviceguard and Cluster File Systems (CFS)
Overview of Cluster File Systems
Understand how to integrate Cluster File System into an existing Serviceguard cluster
Configure System and Multi-node packages to support Cluster File Systems
CFS Admin scripts
Configure diskgroup and mountpoint packages
Extended Distance Clusters
Understand the four types of clusters
Understand the difference between the four types of clusters
Understand the geographic limitations of each of the four types of clusters
Upgrade from Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g RAC
Describe Parallel Processing & Real Application Cluster Architecture
Describe in purpose of SGeRAC
Describe the difference between a Failover Cluster and a RAC Cluster
Install SGeRAC

Create and package an Oracle RAC Cluster for a Serviceguard environment
Continental Clusters
Describe the architecture used for Continental clusters
List two supported methods for performing data replication in a Continental clusters environment
Setup and configure primary node in a Continental clusters environment
Setup and configure the recovery node in a Continental clusters environment
Setup, configure and test a monitoring package for a Continental clusters environment
Hands-On Labs
Configure one Serviceguard cluster running a Quorum Service package. This one package will serve the Cluster Lock needs of the entire class
Within Serviceguard, configure an Oracle 9i Failover cluster with a first instance of an Oracle 9i database
Configure a second instance of an Oracle 9i database
Understand and create a basic CFS environment
Install the Oracle 10g software
Within Serviceguard, configure an Oracle 10g RAC package
With another student, configure a Continental Cluster with one cluster being the "Primary Cluster", and the other cluster being the "Recovery Cluster"
