Course overview
Keep business-critical databases secure and reliable
This course is ideal for database professionals seeking to boost their expertise and confidence in managing advanced Oracle systems. You’ll learn how to configure clusters, manage workloads and keep your systems stable and running smoothly.
Learning objectives
- Configure and install Oracle Grid Infrastructure
- Create and support Oracle RAC (Real Application Clusters) database environments
- Use ASM (Automatic Storage Management) tools and interfaces for storage
- Maintain performance across multiple database nodes in an RAC setup
- Set up RAC services for workload distribution and HA (High Availability)
- Troubleshoot OCR (Oracle Cluster Registry) and Clusterware issues
- Perform backup and restore with RMAN (Recovery Manager) tools
- Convert single-instance Oracle databases to RAC environments
What you’ll learn
This course equips you with the practical skills to manage Oracle RAC environments effectively. You’ll develop the key tools and services required to maintain a stable, high-performance cluster, and gain the confidence to troubleshoot issues and optimise system performance.
Backup and recovery with RMAN
Explore backup and recovery techniques using RMAN (Recovery Manager). You’ll practice configuring fast recovery areas, managing archive logs and redo threads, and carrying out restore tasks. Whether it’s an instance failure or a planned maintenance, you’ll be ready to protect and recover your RAC databases.
RAC performance and workload tuning
RAC environments must remain responsive and well-balanced to operate effectively. This course examines performance tuning techniques tailored to Oracle RAC, including cache fusion, load balancing, and the use of RAC-specific metrics to maintain consistent performance. You’ll learn how to optimise queries, configure transparent failover, and apply best practices to achieve optimal results from your RAC environment.
Services for high availability
Services play a key role in managing workloads and maintaining uptime in RAC. You’ll learn how to create and configure services that support failover, connection balancing, and application continuity. Through live lab exercises, you will test how services respond during outages and observe how Oracle features such as FAN (Fast Application Notification) and SCAN (Single Client Access Name) maintain continuous, efficient operation.
What’s included
- Five days of instructor-led training in a live virtual classroom
- Interactive hands-on live labs
- All relevant course materials

FAQs
Develop the knowledge and skills to administer Oracle RAC and Grid Infrastructure environments. This course prepares you to maintain resilient, scalable databases that support continuous business operations.
What is Oracle Database 19c Grid Infrastructure?
Oracle Grid Infrastructure is the underlying platform that supports RAC and other Oracle high-availability features. It includes Oracle Clusterware for managing server clusters and Automatic Storage Management (ASM) for efficient storage management across nodes.
Will I learn how to work in multi-node environments?
The course provides comprehensive guidance on managing and tuning Oracle RAC in multi-node environments. You’ll learn how to identify performance variations between nodes, manage services efficiently, and maintain consistent operation across the entire cluster.
How does Oracle Clusterware work with Automatic Storage Management (ASM)?
Oracle Clusterware coordinates communication and management between servers in an RAC environment, while ASM handles the storage of database files across those servers. Together, they ensure that data is accessible, synchronised and managed efficiently, supporting high availability and performance.
