Course overview
Experienced system administrators learn how to use
cluster technology with a quorum service and
appropriate CFS structures to support Oracle 11g in
data center environments. Students set up and test a
failover cluster, configure a quorum server or lock disk
cluster, incorporate cluster file systems into a
Serviceguard cluster, install and configure a Oracle
RAC database, explore extended distance clusters and
configure ContinentalClusters including a dress
rehearsal. The 3-day course is 30 percent lecture and
70 percent hands-on labs using HP servers.
Prerequisites
HP-UX System and Network Administration I (H3064S) and HP-UX System and Network Administration II (H3065S) or
