Mastering Automatic Storage Management (ASM)

ASM, introduced in early 2004, has been around the block for several years now; but there is a still a sense of awe and unfamiliarity to even the most seasoned Oracle DBAs. The reason could span from lack of awareness to even myths surrounding the product, such as its yet another database to be managed. In simple terms, its just a volume manager similar to whatever is available in your OS right now with one difference its designed keeping in mind the benefits to the Oracle Database; and that alone. In this session, attendees will learn all there is to know about ASM regardless of their expertise level or exposure to ASM. The course guides the attendees through the concepts of ASM using a live demonstration from building the ASM instance and managing it.
