11g Dynamic Reconfiguration
Why Dynamic Reconfiguration is important to your operations.
  • An integral part of a high availability strategy
  • Changing hardware changes optimizer assumptions
  • Resizing memory and optimizing memory usage
  • Resizing and optimizing the undo tablespace
  • Reconfiguring storage dynamically without affecting availability
The PSOUG's Dynamic Reconfiguration class is part of our Maximum Availability series and is presented as a hands-on evening workshop.

How is PSOUG's Dynamic Reconfiguration class different, and we think better, than anyone else's? To be honest we think it may be the only one that exists. What we have done is pull together the most important capabilities for dynamically reconfiguring an on-line production database while meeting your Service Level Agreement (SLA)

All student's learn the material on their own server with Oracle Unbreakable Linux 4 and the 11gR1 database and all labs are hands-on in a class with no more than 7 other students.

During the class students learn the concepts, architecture, implications, how to reconfigure the system,  and when it is and is not best practice to do so. The syllabus, below, shows the topics covered as well as the fact that this class is hands-on: Not slow death by PowerPoint. $100/person.

Day 1
8:00-8:30am Registration Join us for coffee and pastries while you register.
8:30-9:30am Discussion 1 Oracle's Dynamic Reconfiguration capabilities allow a DBA to dynamically accommodates various changes to hardware and database configurations while keeping the system available for end users in compliance with application Service Level Agreements.
9:30-11:00am Lab 1 SPFILE Params, alter system and alter session
This hands-on workshop focuses on the use of the dynamic nature of parameter setting with an SPFILE to change memory allocation, optimizer configuration, undo tablespace retention targets, and other facets of implementing a maximum availability architecture.

We will have a RAC Cluster available so that students can practice these skills in both stand-alone and RAC environments.
11:00-12:30am Lab 2 Automated Storage Management
One big piece of the dynamic reconfiguration puzzle is using ASM to reconfigure storage. ASM can add volumes, drop volumes, create failover groups, and more without taking the system off-line. We will practice these skills on our lab's NetApp F270c Filer.
 
Instructors
Dan Morgan is an Oracle Ace Director, a 10g and 11g Beta tester for Oracle, and the instructor of the Oracle program at the University of Washington since its inception in 1999. He began his IT career in 1969 with an IBM 370/145, punch cards, and Fortran IV, and though he will vigorously deny it, wrote COBOL for a decade before moving into Oracle about when version 6 hit the market.

In addition to Dan's work at the university he is the Education Chair of the Puget Sound Oracle Users Group, a member of UKOUG, and a member of the British-American Chamber of Commerce in Seattle. He is also a frequent lecturer at training events and at conferences and has presented at Oracle OpenWorld on RAC (2005), at Seattle OracleDay (2004-2007), at numerous government and corporate training events including Apple Computer, Argonne National Laboratory, Boeing Commercial Airplane Group, Dow Jones & Company, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, NASA, T-Mobile, US Navy at Pearl Harbor, and Weyerhaeuser to name but a few and presented on Streams and Change Data Capture at UKOUG in 2006.

Dan Morgan is the Morgan behind the "Morgan's Library" website that contains the many demos he has  created for his University of Washington classes as well as for his frequent lectures. He is the former publisher of MacTech Journal, has presented Oracle technical lectures in the US, Canada, Great Britain, and Japan. Morgan is also the author of this course.
