Description

Step-by-step, build a complete 2-node Oracle 19c RAC environment on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 using shell scripts.

Learn how to build a complete 2-node Oracle 19c Real Application Clusters (RAC) environment on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 using a set of 13 shell scripts.

This is a hands-on course designed to show you how Oracle RAC can be built and configured in a repeatable and automated way, rather than performing every step manually.

What you will learn

In this course, you will learn how to:

Build a RHEL 7.7 virtual machine for the RAC environment

Create and configure two servers for a 2-node RAC cluster

Configure public and private network adapters

Configure IP addresses, hostnames, and name resolution

Create the required operating system groups and Oracle user

Configure password less SSH between the RAC nodes

Configure YUM repositories and install the required OS packages

Create and configure operating system file systems

Create and configure ASM disks

Configure the Oracle ASMLIB driver

Prepare and unzip the Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Database software

Configure the local domain for Oracle SCAN

Install Oracle Grid Infrastructure

Create the FRA and DATA ASM disk groups

Install the Oracle Database software

Create 2-node Oracle 19c RAC database

Run a database report

Automation with Shell Scripts

The main focus of this course is automation.

Instead of manually performing dozens of commands, there are 13 shell scripts to automate to install, configure and create a 2-node oracle RAC database

Each script is explained step by step so you can understand what it does, why it is required, and how the different scripts work together.

By the end of this course, you will have a working 2-node Oracle 19c RAC environment and a collection of shell scripts that you can study, modify, and reuse in your own Oracle RAC lab.

Let’s build Oracle 19c RAC—one script at a time.
