Book Review: Oracle Data Guard 11gR2 Administration Beginner's Guide


Just finished review of book "Oracle Data Guard 11gR2 Administration Beginner's Guide” by authors, Mr. Emre Baransel and Mr. Nassyam Basha.

"Oracle Data Guard 11gR2 Administration Beginner's Guide” is an interesting book that takes one into the facets of Oracle database availability. The books takes the reader step by step on different aspects of environment settings , different configurations, implementation challenges and so on. The fascinating part of the book is the depiction of real world cases with screen snapshots.

A quick reference even for the seasoned data guard administrators on specific issues and the nuances of database role changes and reversals.Interestingly a dedicated chapter on Active Data Guard which explains how this feature can be harnessed in terms of offloading and better ROI.

Almost all, the parts of the book we can identify the authors Hands-On experience in "Oracle Data Guard" functionality with real world scenarios.

The following concepts the explanation and work-around was very impressive

1. Working with skip rules on a logical standby database
2. Data Guard tracing levels
3. Changing the protection mode with SQL*Plus
4. Exporting a database backup from Active DataGuard

I want to appreciate the efforts from my friends Mr.Emre Baransel and Mr.Nassyam Basha for this book. My sincere and special thanks to Packt Publications team for sending me this e-book for review.

The link to buy this book from Packt Publishing :http://www.packtpub.com/oracle-data-guard-11gr2-administration-beginners-guide/book

Thanks & Best Regards

How to Convert Single-Instance Database to RAC Database using Rconfig Utility


Database  : racdb
Instance    : Single Instance
Objective : Converting from Single Instance to RAC Instance using 'rconfig'

Check the Instance:
-------------------------
[oracle@rac1 bin]$ ps -ef | grep pmon
oracle    3759     1  0 17:08 ?        00:00:00 asm_pmon_+ASM1
oracle    8407     1  0 17:36 ?        00:00:00 ora_pmon_racdb

Take backup of Original File:----------------------------------
[oracle@rac1 bin]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/assistants/rconfig/sampleXMLs/

[oracle@rac1 sampleXMLs]$ ls
ConvertToRAC_AdminManaged.xml  ConvertToRAC_PolicyManaged.xml
