Migrating RAC Database to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Course Description

Migrating RAC Database to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure develops practical capability in assessment, target design, migration execution, cutover, and fallback for RAC databases moving to OCI. The course is organized around a mission-critical RAC database migrating to OCI under strict downtime, data-loss, security, and rollback constraints.

Learners move through four connected stages: Source Assessment and OCI Target Architecture; Connectivity, Security, Storage, and Landing-Zone Readiness; Migration Methods, Synchronization, and Rehearsal; and Cutover, Validation, Fallback, and Operational Handoff. Each stage links technical or business decisions to measurable evidence, risk controls, and operational ownership.

What You Will Learn

• Explain and apply RAC topology, versions, services, dependencies, data volume, and growth within Migrating RAC Database to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
• Configure, analyze, validate, or troubleshoot downtime and recovery objectives, compliance constraints, and migration eligibility, OCI region, VCN, subnets, DNS, IAM, database service, and availability design, and compatibility findings, capacity model, risk register, and migration decision record using course-specific evidence.
• Explain and apply FastConnect or VPN, routing, security lists, NSGs, and name resolution within Migrating RAC Database to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
• Configure, analyze, validate, or troubleshoot wallets, keys, secrets, encryption, privileged access, and audit requirements, ASM, backup storage, staging capacity, throughput, and transfer-time estimates, and connectivity tests, bandwidth evidence, target prechecks, and remediation ownership using course-specific evidence.
• Explain and apply Zero Downtime Migration, Data Guard, RMAN, and logical-method selection within Migrating RAC Database to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
• Configure, analyze, validate, or troubleshoot initial copy, incremental synchronization, services, and configuration replication, rehearsal timeline, automation, validation queries, and defect handling, and lag monitoring, recovery-point verification, performance baseline, and go/no-go gates using course-specific evidence.
• Explain and apply application quiesce, final synchronization, role transition, and service redirection within Migrating RAC Database to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
• Configure, analyze, validate, or troubleshoot data reconciliation, RAC service behavior, performance, backup, and security validation, fallback decision window, reverse steps, communication, and evidence preservation, and post-migration monitoring, decommission criteria, runbook, and lessons learned using course-specific evidence.

SkillDynamo Training Approach

The training follows a mission-critical RAC database migrating to OCI under strict downtime, data-loss, security, and rollback constraints. Activities combine course-specific demonstrations, guided implementation, hands-on exercises, scenario analysis, validation checklists, structured troubleshooting, solution review, and a final improvement plan. Learners document assumptions, settings, commands or transactions, outputs, exceptions, corrective actions, governance trade-offs, rollback needs, and operational ownership.
