Workshop Description & Details
Course Description
This 2.5 day class will be of interest to attendees who are considering a
move of Oracle to Linux on System z machines. Topics will be presented to
familiarize the attendee with System z hardware technologies. Major
software components will be showcased through lecture and hands on labs.
Attendees will have the opportunity to perform customization activities on
key z/VM system files. Linux will be covered through lectures and labs that
include the install and customization of a SLES 10 64 bit system. The
install and customization of Oracle 10g and the use of DBCA will be
highlighted. Performance is always a topic of keen interest. The class will
cover performance tools available at the z/VM, Linux and Oracle levels.
Recommendations will be presented on maximizing Oracle performance on Linux
on System z. Other topics will cover various options available to gather
and process performance data. The Class will wrap up with a discussion on
tools and services available for sizing workloads being considered, for a
move to Linux on System z. Part of this discussion will also encompass
server consolidation to System z machines in addition to a discussion on
ROI and TCO factors.
