Product Description

Build and manage a scalable storage infrastructure with Oracle Automatic Storage Management. Streamline data management and provisioning using Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) and the detailed information contained in this exclusive Oracle Press resource, written by a team of database experts.

Oracle Automatic Storage Management: Under-the-Hood & Practical Deployment Guide explains how to build and maintain a dynamic, highly available Oracle database storage environment. Inside, you'll learn how to configure storage for Oracle ASM, build disk groups, use data striping and mirroring, and optimize performance. You'll also learn how to:

  • Ensure consistency across server and storage platforms, maximize data redundancy, and administer Oracle ASM from the command line
  • Manage Oracle ASM Instances and configure Oracle instances to leverage Oracle ASM
  • Define, discover, and manage disk storage under Oracle ASM
  • Create external, normal-redundancy, and high-redundancy disk groups
  • Add and remove Oracle ASM storage without affecting RDMS instance availability.

    Learn how Oracle ASM provides even I/O distribution:

  • Work with Oracle ASM directories, files, templates, and aliases
  • Improve storage performance and integrity using the ASMLIB API
  • Simplify system administration with the Oracle ASM command line interface
  • Understand key internal Oracle ASM structures and algorithms

    This book will make you an expert on ASM. 20 Dec 2007
    By T. Roach - Published on Amazon.com
    Format:Paperback
    One of the authors of this book is the director of development for ASM. Who would know more about it than the developers? The other 2 implement it in many different environments. Lastly, the technical reviewer Charles Kim wrote the 11g new features book for Apress. There could not be a better group of people to write a book about ASM and review it than these individuals.

    I would highly recommend this book for any DBA that will be working with ASM and / or RAC. The high performance, ease of use, and low cost make it a very attractive solution. This book will teach you everything you need to know about ASM (that's why it's called an "Under-the-Hood" guide). It also makes an excellent reference.

    Just in Time... 9 Dec 2007
    By K. Gopalakrishnan - Published on Amazon.com
    Format:Paperback
    Someone recenlty mentioned that Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM) is probably the best thing ever happened to Oracle next to SQL*Plus. I would second that. However there was no definitive text available in the market and Nitin & co perfectly filled the gap with this classic one.

    This book starts with the basics of the storage technology and moves towards the center of the ASM with deep discussions on ASM data structures, ASM in operation and ASM troubleshooting. Nitin probably probably knows more about ASM than anyone I know and excels in explaining the complex technologies in easy to understand manner. You will immensely benefit from his wisdom and real life experience.

    A must read for Oracle Storage Administrators and DBAs working with RAC/ASM.

    a good Oracle ASM read 6 May 2010
    By Euegene Roytman - Published on Amazon.com
    Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
    This is a definitely a good book. Contains plenty of useful info. However don't be misguided by "covers oracle 10g and 11g". As of 11.2 a lot of things have changed like introduction of Grid Infrastructure, etc that makes installation and management a bit different, but I believe the concepts will stay the same. An updated online chapter on new 11.2 features would be nice, but for lack of anything else I would give my both thumbs up for this book, especially if you deal with 10.2-11.1 versions.
