Oracle Grid Infrastructure Concepts: This skill covers the overall understanding of Oracle Grid Infrastructure, which provides a foundation for Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) and Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM). It includes knowledge of the key components, such as the clusterware and ASM, that enable high availability and optimum performance for the database.
Oracle Clusterware Architecture and Services: This skill focuses on the architecture and services provided by Oracle Clusterware, which is a key component of Oracle Grid Infrastructure. It involves understanding how Clusterware manages cluster resources, provides high availability, and enables failover and load balancing.
Oracle Clusterware Networking: This skill pertains to the networking aspects of Oracle Clusterware, including the configuration and management of network interfaces, VIPs (Virtual IPs), and network listeners. It also covers the communication protocols and network configurations required for seamless cluster operation.
GPnP Domain Components: This skill encompasses the various components of the GPnP (Grid Plug and Play) domain, which is responsible for discovering and registering cluster nodes and resources. It involves understanding the GPnP profile, the management of profiles, and the way GPnP facilitates the dynamic addition and removal of nodes from the cluster.
Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM) and Grid Infrastructure: This skill focuses on Oracle ASM and its integration with Oracle Grid Infrastructure. It involves understanding how ASM provides storage management for Oracle databases, including disk group creation, rebalancing, and performance tuning. The knowledge of ASM's relationship with other Grid Infrastructure components is also essential.
Profile in Oracle Clusterware: This skill covers the concept of profiles in Oracle Clusterware, which allows customization of resource allocation and scheduling in a cluster. It involves understanding the different types of profiles and how they are used to manage resources, including the priority and placement of applications within the cluster.
Oracle Grid Infrastructure Architecture: This skill pertains to the architecture of Oracle Grid Infrastructure, including the various components that make up the infrastructure stack. It involves understanding the relationships and dependencies between these components and how they work together to provide high availability, scalability, and manageability for Oracle RAC environments.
Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster: This skill covers the overall understanding of deploying and managing Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a cluster, which includes configuring shared storage, networking, and cluster interconnect. It involves knowledge of the installation process, cluster configuration, and troubleshooting techniques for maintaining a robust and reliable Grid Infrastructure environment.
