Preface

Oracle Database 2 Day + Real Application Clusters Guide describes how to install, configure, and administer Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) on a two-node system using the Red Hat Linux system.

Note:

For Linux operating systems other then Red Hat Linux, see Oracle Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation Guide for Linux. For other operating systems, see the platform-specific Oracle RAC installation guide.

This guide covers topics that a reasonably knowledgeable Oracle database administrator (DBA) would need to know when moving from managing a single-instance Oracle Database environment to managing an Oracle RAC environment.

Audience

To use this guide, you should be familiar with the administrative procedures described in Oracle Database 2 Day DBA.

Note:

Some DBAs may be interested in moving the data from their single-instance Oracle Database to their Oracle RAC database. This guide also explains the procedures for doing this.
