Once again this year the RAC Attack<\/strong> will be a pre-conference workshop at Collaborate.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re a sysadmin, a developer or a DBA, I’m sure you will really enjoy this workshop<\/strong>. Why?<\/p>\n

First, you get the opportunity to install a RAC 12c using Virtualbox on your laptop and get coached by many RAC experts<\/strong>, Oracle ACEs<\/strong> and ACE Directors<\/strong>, OCMs<\/strong> and famous bloggers<\/strong> and technologists.<\/p>\n

If you’ve never installed\u00a0it, it will be very challenging because you get hands on network components, shared disks, udev, DNS, Virtual Machine cloning, OS install and so on, and being super-user<\/strong> (root) of your own cluster!!<\/strong>\u00a0If your a developer, you can then start developing your applications by testing the failover features of RAC and their scalability by checking for global cache wait events.<\/p>\n

If you’re already used to RAC, this year we have not one or two, but three deals for you<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Try the semi-automated RAC installation<\/strong> using Vagrant:<\/strong>\u00a0you’ll be able to have your RAC up and running in minutes and concentrate on advanced features.<\/li>\n
  2. Implement\u00a0advanced labs such as Flex Cluster<\/strong> and Flex ASM<\/strong> or Policy Managed Databases<\/strong>, and discover Hub<\/strong> and Leaf nodes<\/strong>, Server Pools<\/strong> and other features<\/li>\n
  3. Ask the ninjas to show you\u00a0other advanced scenarios<\/strong>\u00a0or just discuss about other RAC related topics<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Isn’t enough?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The participants that will complete at least the Linux install (very first stage of the workshop) will get an OTN-sponsored T-shirt of the event<\/strong>, with the very new RAC SIG Logo (the image is purely indicative, the actual design may change):<\/p>\n

    \"t-shirt-c15lv\"<\/a><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Still not enough?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    We’ll have free pizza<\/strong> (at lunch) and beer<\/strong> (in the afternoon), again sponsored by the Oracle Technology Network<\/strong>. Can’t believe it? Look at a few images from last year’s\u00a0edition:<\/p>\n

    Check the pre-conference workshops on the IOUG Collaborate 15<\/a> website and don’t forget to full-fill the requirements before attending the workshop:<\/p>\n

    To participate in the workshop, participants need to bring their own laptop. Recommended specification: a) any 64 bit OS that supports Oracle Virtual Box b) 8GB RAM, 45GB free HDD space, SSD recommended.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Important:<\/b> it’s required to pre-download Oracle Database 12c and Oracle Grid Infrastructure 12c for Linux x86-64 from the Oracle Website\u00a0http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/rac12c-dl<\/a>\u00a0(four files: linuxamd64_12c_database_1of2.zip linuxamd64_12c_database_2of2.zip linuxamd64_12c_grid_1of2.zip linuxamd64_12c_grid_2of2.zip). Due to license restrictions it’s not be possible to distribute Oracle Sofware.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Looking forward to meet you there!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n
