Re: OCM Oracle Certified Master exam preparation

Thanks guys for your time and input.
Some topics are not clear to me:

Server Configuration
[] Configure the network environment to allow connections to multiple databases
- is this RAC ( TAF ) related, or just standard tnsnames.ora configuration

Enterprise Manager Grid Control
- 10gR1 Grid control is extremely buggy - I was able to install 10gR2 only;
  would this small ( but possibly significant ) difference matter ?

[  ] Create notifications
- do I assume email is configured on the server, or I have to do it myself ?

Real Application Clusters
[  ] Install Oracle Clusterware
This is heavily OS dependent. United Linux is exam OS.
If I prepare my exam on RedHat would it be close enough ?

Performance Management
[  ] Manage Services
What is this ? If RAC services then it should be under RAC  ? If services
as defined by service_names parameter, sys$background etc, then there
is nothing to manage there.

[  ] Create and manage objects to accommodate different data access
methods (schema tuning)
Do I care about hash clusters, IOT's, optimizer hints ?

Regards, Ranko

That is great advice.

Last week I was looking at the candidate guide, everything were fine except
the streams part and probably Grid Control. Overall the topics being covered
are massive. A few months preparation on Streams should help.... Hopefully

the databases online at the end of every scenario
