Oracle on Linux on System z Bootcamp:
In conjunction with the Conference, IBM is hosting a special 'no-charge' workshop for conference attendees who are considering consolidating and moving Oracle DB workloads to a Linux environment using z/VM software and System z hardware technology. This 2.5 day workshop is designed for system administrators, DBA's, and planners considering a move of Oracle to Linux on System z, and offers practical, hands-on experience through a combination of lectures and labs to install and configure SUSE Linux. A hands-on customization of z/VM will be performed to establish an environment for a Linux system. The workshop includes the installation and customization of Oracle 10g, and will include a discussion of performance tooling for Linux and z/VM that can be used to monitor and tune the system environment.
Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA) Bootcamp:
This workshop will focus on implementing a database in a RAC/ASM/Grid Control environment. During the hands on training you will learn to manage an Oracle database in Oracle MAA environment.
