Oracle RAC, ASM & Clusterware Engineering

The Oracle RAC, ASM & Clusterware Engineering Track is a comprehensive hands-on training program designed for database administrators, system engineers, and infrastructure professionals who want to build, administer, optimize, and troubleshoot Oracle high-availability database environments.

This track provides in-depth knowledge of Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC), Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM), Oracle Clusterware, Oracle Grid Infrastructure, and Oracle ACFS. Participants will gain practical experience in deploying enterprise-grade clustered database environments that deliver scalability, fault tolerance, performance optimization, and business continuity.

The program covers Oracle Database 23ai enhancements and industry best practices for installation, administration, monitoring, patching, backup, recovery, performance tuning, and high availability management.

By the end of this training track, participants will be able to:

• Understand Oracle Grid Infrastructure architecture and components 
• Design and deploy Oracle Clusterware environments 
• Install and configure Oracle RAC databases 
• Manage Oracle ASM storage and disk groups 
• Configure and administer Oracle ACFS and ADVM 
• Implement high availability solutions using Oracle RAC services 
• Monitor and troubleshoot RAC and Clusterware environments 
• Perform backup, recovery, patching, and upgrades in clustered environments 
• Optimize RAC performance and Cache Fusion operations 
• Configure Application Continuity and Transaction Guard 
• Manage Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) and Voting Disks 
• Implement best practices for scalability, availability, and disaster recovery

Participants should have:

• Basic Oracle Database Administration knowledge 
• Experience with SQL and Oracle Architecture 
• Familiarity with Linux/Unix operating systems 
• Understanding of Oracle Database installation and management concepts 

Recommended:

• Oracle Database Administration Workshop
