| Oracle 10g RAC Grid, Services & Clustering | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Grid architecture is Oracles strategy for high-end computing and RAC is the stepping stone into this arena. This book focuses on current technology including all valid RAC features up through Oracle Database 10g Release 2, with a primary focus on deploying it in a high-end grid environment. The book discusses this technology at length which users will find beneficial when researching, implementing or monitoring a RAC environment. The author covers workshop implementation of services and the distribution of workload across instances, with threshold definitions and the new load balancing algorithms. In addition it includes detailed discussions on ASM that complements the implementation of RAC in Oracle Grid strategy. The book also includes discussions on new Oracle Clusterware, its components and its integration with RAC.
Oracle 10g RAC focuses on RAC-specific topics including ASM, operating system configuration, installation and configuration of RAC and much more. Coverage includes network configuration for high availability, FAN, TAF, ONS, implementation of maximum availability architecture (MAA), EM Grid Control, AWR, ADDM and other performance-related tools. The author includes several scripts for performance tuning and implementation that the reader can use to configure a RAC environment either on a 2, 4, 8, 60 or 99 node configuration. * Focuses on implementing, testing and tuning features of Real Application Clusters (RAC) database version 10g Release 2 * Provides extensive coverage of usage, day-to-day functions and operations * Includes tips and techniques such as script samples to illustrate various features of RAC * A jumpstart into all the key features of 10g R2 RAC |

This book covers both Oracle RAC and Grid Technology with great examples. I recommend this book to all DBA's who want to implement 10g RAC. This book is big asset to people who are already using Oracle 10g RAC.

I found the book extremely useful and very well written on RAC and Clustering. It is a great book for all who want to work as RAC DBA, it should be of immense value to both novice and experienced DBAs. All topics including performance tuning, cache fusion, storage management and services are presented extremely well. Murali is almost an authority on the subject. The appendix is awesome and makes you learn fast thru the workshop exercises. I highly recommend this book for all interested in Real Application Clusters technology..

It's hard to find god information on RAC, many of the books simply aren't very good. This one is a must have if you are implementing a RAC enviroment, though of course metalink is crucial as well.

This is a good reference for Oracle RAC. The author makes a mistake, however, of treating the core 20% of RAC like rest of the 80%. For example, the book's details on Oracle RAC installation was about the same as its explanation of OCFS 1.0.
I think 3 things about ORACLE RAC are essential and perhaps the most important part of RAC knowledge. They are the architecture, the installation (not that simple), and the administration. Approximately 20% of the book is dedicated to the 3 core topics. To his credit, the author does provide some fine examples and detailed knowledge on many esotoric aspects of RAC. For example, I have found his insights into DBMS and DGMRL packages related to RAC very helpful. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-07-10 21:57:06 EST)

The grammar is terrible, it's filled with bad analogies and information that should have been assumed (e.g., RAID - how long has this technology been around?). There's a couple good nuggets but overall, it's like bad reality TV, %5 content surrounded by 95% filler.

This book has proven to be an excellent guide for graduating my team on to 10g RAC. It has become a must-read for all our existing DBAs/new hires. The details that Murali lends to any topic allow us to understand the topic best. His narration is matched with his technicalese.
We are eagerly looking foward to his and Nitin's next book on ASM. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-07-10 21:57:06 EST)

As compared to the 370 pages provided by Oracle as docu for RAC, this book with its nearly 700 pages and lots of info and examples is brilliant.
I have two years Oracle 10g RAC experience, but I have found in this book very valuable information about how RAC works, what is behind all components and all kind of "inside information" one could not find in Oracle documentation. Except some typos (understandable, given the rush to print a good book about RAC) this book is clearly a BUY. Cristian OCP 8i,9i,10g. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-07-10 21:57:06 EST)

Nice coverage of various components of RAC technology on all platforms. My favorite part was the appendix that covers some good workshop exercises and ways to use Data Guard and RAC.

I consider this book and the other new book on Oracle 10g RAC,
Pro Oracle Database 10g RAC on Linux: Installation, Administration, and Performance by Julian Dyke and Steve Shaw to be the best books on the Oracle 10g RAC and Grid technology. This book has a more hands on practical walk through implementation approach which I really like a lot while the other text is more of a theory and Linux centric approach to RAC. My favorite sections were on ASM, Services, and Data Guard/RMAN with RAC. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-01-06 12:37:11 EST)

Really good book. I found it very useful as it covers almost all topics from DBA prospective. Information is technical enough for an experienced DBA or Developer. Book is well structured and it is easy to follow the material cover to cover. Up to date information in all aspects (Oracle binary set up, OS , networking and development).
Very useful appendix, which guides you through various tasks. Easy to find information you require. One of the best (if not the best) Oracle 10g RAC books on the market. Of course, it cannot cover literally all topics, but it is definitely a great effort. Thank you Murali! Ivaylo Lissev Database Consultant (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-09-01 08:59:45 EST)
