11gR2 High Availability Best Practices
11gR2 brings significant changes to Oracle RAC and Clusterware, now called Grid Infrastructure. It also introduces ACFS, which stands for ASM Cluster File System, and a completely different approach to handling the OCR and Voting Disk. Other changes include the new Single Client Access Name (SCAN) IP, a new required grid user, Cluster Time Synchronization Service, Grid Naming Service, and some very interesting network configuration requirements.

Caleb is a senior consultant, mentor and educator responsible for numerous production RAC installations. Come and hear about theses changes and new features from a completely practical perspective.

Presentation 1
A Day in the Life of an Oracle Server Process
Being an Oracle server process is no easy thing. While typically doing a whole lot of nothing, when asked to do something, expectations are extremely high. And all this happens while being subjected to all sorts of infuriating roadblocks. If you think teenage drama is exhausting, that's nothing compared to what an Oracle server process endures.

This technical and entertaining presentation will bring to light some of the key performance and configuration issues we face today. With the aid of audience participation, code demonstrations, and even a quick buffer and library cache dump, you'll come to respect an Oracle server process and the code that breathes life into it like never before.

This meeting will be your last chance to register for Craig's full day training class.
