Training Course on Oracle RAC (Real Application Clusters) Administration Training

Training Course on Oracle RAC (Real Application Clusters) Administration Training

Introduction:

In today’s fast-paced digital environment, businesses demand high availability, fault tolerance, and seamless scalability from their database infrastructures. Oracle RAC (Real Application Clusters) is a powerful solution that enables multiple servers to access a single database, providing a resilient and scalable platform. Training Course on Oracle RAC (Real Application Clusters) Administration Training offers a deep dive into Oracle RAC administration, equipping IT professionals with the skills to install, configure, manage, and troubleshoot RAC environments across enterprise-level systems.

Through a blended learning experience that includes expert-led lectures, interactive labs, and real-world case studies, learners will gain hands-on experience in cluster management, performance tuning, load balancing, and automatic storage management (ASM). By the end of this course, participants will have the practical knowledge to optimize RAC implementations and ensure maximum database uptime and performance.

Course Objectives:

1. Understand the architecture and core components of Oracle RAC.
2. Install and configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Oracle RAC on Linux.
3. Set up and manage Oracle ASM (Automatic Storage Management).
4. Use SRVCTL and CRSCTL utilities for cluster and resource management.
5. Implement real-time performance tuning and diagnostics.
6. Configure and manage Oracle Clusterware.
7. Ensure high availability and fault tolerance in RAC environments.
8. Monitor and analyze RAC performance using AWR/ASH reports.
9. Configure and use Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) for RAC.
10. Troubleshoot common cluster, node, and network issues.
11. Understand and apply load balancing and failover strategies.
12. Perform rolling patch upgrades and cluster node additions.
13. Secure RAC environments with role-based access control (RBAC) and auditing.
