Oracle Database 19c: RAC Administration Workshop

Course Description

Oracle Database 19c: RAC Administration Workshop prepares learners to work confidently with Oracle Grid Infrastructure, RAC installation, ASM, networking, services, backup, recovery, patching, performance, availability, and cluster troubleshooting. Learners work within a database platform team deploying and operating a highly available two-node Oracle RAC environment, linking configuration and process decisions to security, accuracy, availability, and operational ownership.

Four connected stages cover Grid Infrastructure, Clusterware, and RAC Architecture; Installation, ASM, Networks, Services, and Policy Management; Backup, Recovery, Patching, Upgrade, and Multitenant RAC; Performance, Availability, Diagnostics, and Failure Drills. Every stage produces practical evidence, a validation record, troubleshooting notes, and a reusable handover outcome.

What You Will Learn

• Apply RAC architecture, cache fusion, global resources, interconnect, and instance coordination while working through grid infrastructure, clusterware, and rac architecture.
• Validate Clusterware stack, OHAS, CRS resources, voting files, OCR, and startup dependencies and resolve issues involving cluster verification, resource status, log locations, and architecture fault isolation.
• Apply installation planning, user groups, storage, kernel, time, network, and prerequisite checks while working through installation, asm, networks, services, and policy management.
• Validate ASM disk groups, redundancy, failure groups, rebalance, ACFS, and capacity monitoring and resolve issues involving administrator- and policy-managed deployment, server pools, validation, and rollback.
• Apply RMAN configuration, cluster-aware backup, restore, recovery, and service continuity while working through backup, recovery, patching, upgrade, and multitenant rac.
• Validate node failure, instance recovery, media failure, control-file/redo scenarios, and drills and resolve issues involving CDB/PDB services in RAC, relocation, open states, and multitenant recovery considerations.
• Apply AWR, ASH, ADDM, global cache metrics, interconnect latency, and wait analysis while working through performance, availability, diagnostics, and failure drills.
• Validate services, FAN, Fast Connection Failover, Application Continuity, and load balancing and resolve issues involving node eviction, service outage, storage fault, recovery exercise, and support runbook.

Training Approach

Guided demonstrations, hands-on configuration, scenario analysis, validation checklists, controlled failure testing, troubleshooting, solution review, and a final improvement plan are used throughout Oracle Database 19c: RAC Administration Workshop. Learners document assumptions, settings, outputs, exceptions, corrective actions, rollback needs, and operational responsibilities.
