Oracle Database 19c: ASM Administration Workshop

Course Description

Oracle Database 19c: ASM Administration Workshop develops practical capability in administering Oracle ASM disk groups, failure groups, allocation, files, rebalance, capacity, monitoring, and recovery-aware operations. The learning path is organized around an ASM storage estate expanded and rebalanced while protecting redundancy, performance, and database availability.

Learners progress from architecture and process understanding into implementation, validation, troubleshooting, and operational handoff. Every lesson uses the product controls, data structures, business decisions, failure modes, and evidence relevant to this exact Oracle pathway.

The content is independently written for SkillDynamo using the supplied source page for title, update date, and topic alignment. Learners finish with reproducible evidence, a course-specific runbook or design record, and a prioritized improvement action.

What You Will Learn

• Explain and apply ASM instance, database clients, metadata, and allocation units within Oracle Database 19c: ASM Administration Workshop.
• Validate disk discovery strings, candidate disks, headers, and ownership, external, normal, and high redundancy, and failure groups, quorum awareness, compatibility attributes, and design evidence through course-specific evidence.
• Explain and apply ASM file types, naming, aliases, directories, and file placement within Oracle Database 19c: ASM Administration Workshop.
• Validate templates, redundancy, striping, and file creation attributes, database, control, redo, archive, backup, and temporary files, and ADVM and ACFS concepts, use cases, boundaries, and operational ownership through course-specific evidence.
• Explain and apply disk add, drop, resize, replace, and online operations within Oracle Database 19c: ASM Administration Workshop.
• Validate rebalance power, phases, estimates, and workload impact, usable capacity, required mirror free space, and imbalance, and failure simulation, performance evidence, rollback, and change validation through course-specific evidence.
• Explain and apply ASM views, asmcmd, alerts, logs, metrics, and disk state within Oracle Database 19c: ASM Administration Workshop.
• Validate mount failures, discovery, permissions, path, and redundancy incidents, metadata backup and restore awareness, disk header caution, and recovery planning, and patch coordination, capacity thresholds, runbooks, escalation, and handoff through course-specific evidence.

SkillDynamo Training Approach

The training follows an ASM storage estate expanded and rebalanced while protecting redundancy, performance, and database availability. Activities combine course-specific demonstrations, guided implementation, hands-on exercises, scenario analysis, validation checklists, failure diagnosis, troubleshooting, and a final improvement plan. Learners document assumptions, settings, outputs, exceptions, corrective actions, security or governance trade-offs, and operational ownership.
