"Whenever I
see an erring man, I say to myself I have also erred; when I see a lustful
man I say to myself, so was I once; and in this way I feel kinship with
everyone in the world and feel that I cannot be happy without the humblest
of us being happy."

What
is the Oracle 10g Database Grid?
Yesterday
was Internet and today is Grid. It looks like the technology finds its way to
hang on something to grow. Now, there is a committee called the Global Grid
Forum (GGF) that is developing standards for Grid computing.
The
following are some of the most important features that enable Grid computing at
the Oracle 10g Database level:
-
Automatic
Storage Management
-
Portable
Clusterware
-
High-Speed
InfiniBand Network Support
-
Real
Application Clusters and automatic workload management
-
Resource
Manager
-
Oracle
Streams
-
Centralized
Management with Enterprise Manager Grid Control
-
Oracle
Database 10g New self-management feature

What
is OEM 10g?
It
is Oracle Enterprise Manager with more new features. It can automatically alert
you to new critical patches. You can use the patch wizard to select an
interim patch and see if any of your system requires it. It is integrated with a
build-in MetaLink connection.

Step
#1: Find your hostname or IP
address of your server. Ex: hostname is: myserver

myserver
Notice
that the 'myserver' name should be the same as your server name.
Step

the SYSTEM tablespace.
