Oracle Database 12c: Clusterware Administration

Overview

This Oracle Database 12c: Clusterware Administration training will explore general cluster concepts and Oracle Clusterware architecture. Work with expert Oracle University instructors through interactive instruction and hands-on exercises to reinforce your learning.

Learn To:
  • Perform Grid Infrastructure pre-installation tasks.
  • Install both Standard and Flex clusters.
  • Add and remove nodes from a cluster in addition to upgrading and patching existing Grid Homes.
  • Manage and administer both Standard Clusters and Policy-Managed Clusters.
  • Use Oracle Clusterware to make applications highly available.
