Hello everyone my name is Zulqarnain Hayat welcome to my Oracle 12C RAC setup Course. My main goal is to let you get an Oracle 12c RAC environment up and running on your laptop in a minimal possible time and less resources. However if you follow that course you will be install Oracle 12c RAC database going through main installation steps using open filer shared storage. One of the biggest problems preventing people from setting up test RAC environments is the requirement for shared storage.
As we know In a production environment, shared storage is often provided by a SAN or high-end NAS device like DEL EMC or netapp and from other storage vendors, but both of these options are very expensive when all you want to do is get some experience installing and using RAC. So alternative is to using Openfiler as shared storage which is same setup of using expensive SAN .Openfiler is an operating system that provides file-based network-attached storage and block-based storage area network.
In this RAC Course will be covered all tasks with hands-On step by step.
