Oracle Database 19c RAC and Grid Infrastructure Administration - 5 days Online Classroom

Oracle Database 19c RAC and Grid Infrastructure Administration - 5 days Online Classroom

Build the expertise to deploy, administer, and optimise highly available Oracle database clusters with the Oracle Database 19c RAC and Grid Infrastructure Administration course. Designed for experienced Oracle database professionals, this hands-on training teaches you how to install and configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure, create and manage Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC), administer Automatic Storage Management (ASM), and maintain resilient multi-node database environments. Through practical labs, you'll learn to optimise performance, distribute workloads, troubleshoot cluster issues, and protect critical databases using RMAN—equipping you to support enterprise-grade, mission-critical Oracle infrastructures.

Learning Outcomes

• Backup and recovery with RMAN: Learn how to protect Oracle RAC databases using Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN). You'll configure Fast Recovery Areas, manage archive logs and redo threads, and perform backup and restore operations. Through practical exercises, you'll gain the skills to recover RAC databases from failures, minimise downtime, and maintain data availability during both planned maintenance and unexpected incidents.
• RAC performance optimisation: Develop the skills to monitor and optimise Oracle RAC performance for demanding enterprise workloads. You'll explore cache fusion, workload distribution, load balancing, and RAC-specific performance metrics to identify bottlenecks and improve efficiency. The course also covers query optimisation, transparent application failover, and best practices for maintaining consistent database performance across clustered environments.
• High availability with Oracle RAC services: Discover how Oracle RAC services help maximise application availability and workload distribution. You'll learn to configure services that support failover, connection load balancing, and application continuity. Through hands-on labs, you'll test service behaviour during node failures and explore features such as Fast Application Notification (FAN) and Single Client Access Name (SCAN) to ensure seamless, highly available database operations.

What is Oracle Database 19c Grid Infrastructure?

Oracle Grid Infrastructure provides the foundation for Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) and other high-availability solutions. It combines Oracle Clusterware, which manages clustered servers and resources, with Automatic Storage Management (ASM), which simplifies and optimises shared storage across multiple database nodes to deliver reliable, scalable database operations.

Will I learn how to manage Oracle RAC in multi-node environments?

Yes. This course teaches you how to administer, monitor, and optimise Oracle RAC across multiple database nodes. You'll learn to balance workloads, monitor node performance, manage database services, and troubleshoot issues to ensure reliable, high-performance operation throughout the cluster.

How do Oracle Clusterware and Automatic Storage Management (ASM) work together?

Oracle Clusterware manages communication, resource coordination, and failover between servers in a RAC environment, while ASM provides intelligent storage management by distributing and maintaining database files across shared disks. Together, they deliver a resilient, high-performance infrastructure that supports continuous availability, efficient storage utilisation, and simplified database administration.
