Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) is a clustered version of Oracle Database based on a comprehensive high-availability stack that can be used as the foundation of a database cloud system as well as a shared infrastructure, ensuring high availability, scalability, and agility for any application. Oracle RAC with a shared cache architecture overcomes the limitations of traditional shared-nothing and shared-disk approaches to provide highly scalable and available database solutions for all your business applications.
Optimizing is always a requirement for today's DBA, and this requires deep architecture knowhow. A good diagnostic check is always the first step for tuning and optimizing your system. But even when problems occur with a database, it is important to perform accurate and timely diagnosis of the problem before making any changes. Often a database administrator (DBA) simply looks at the symptoms and immediately starts changing the system to fix those symptoms.
Oracle Support, amongst several tools for RAC diagnostics, provides and uses a diagnostic script racdiag.sql that does a complete and thorough check. Note: 135714.1 Script to Collect RAC Diagnostic Information (racdiag.sql) This script is updated often so I better verify you have the latest version before running it.Overall it's intended to provide a user friendly guide to troubleshoot RAC while collecting the necessary information for you to improve perfromance where needed.
The purpose of this is generally understanding of the kind of problems on RAC systems,such as RAC hung sessions or slow performance, by collecting items such as waiting sessions, GES lock information, system stats, and many other RAC-related items. This script is a great tool for establishing performance benchmarks and revealing performance problems. It is best to run this script in development first and then at a designated time in the production environment, because sometimes the script can further impact performance – especially where cluster wait problems already exist.
Go to Script to Collect RAC Diagnostic Information (racdiag.sql) (Doc ID 135714.1) (Applies to You can applies to 8.1.5.0 to 12.1.0.1 (UNIX)), download the script, place it in a directory, and give it permissions.

Another reliable source for troubleshooting performance problems is the v$views. In a RAC environment, there are additional views to look at that are gv$views (i.e. GV$SESSION_WAIT). The only difference between gv$views and the views you use with single instance database is they have information about all instances noted by the ‘INST_ID’ column.
Last but definetaly not least, Oracle Database collects the statistical data needed for accurate diagnosis of a problem is stored in Automatic Workload Repository (AWR). Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor (ADDM):
- Analyzes AWR data on a regular basis
- Diagnoses the root causes of performance problems
- Provides recommendations for correcting any problems
- Identifies non-problem areas of the system
Because AWR is a repository of historical performance data, ADDM can analyze performance issues after the event, often saving time and resources in reproducing a problem. In most cases, ADDM output should be the first place that a DBA looks when notified of a performance problem. ADDM provides the following benefits:
- Automatic performance diagnostic report every hour by default
- Problem diagnosis based on decades of tuning expertise
- Time-based quantification of problem impacts and recommendation benefits
- Identification of root cause, not symptoms
- Recommendations for treating the root causes of problems
- Identification of non-problem areas of the system
- Minimal overhead to the system during the diagnostic process
Tuning is an iterative process, and fixing one problem can cause the bottleneck to shift to another part of the system. Even with the benefit of ADDM analysis, it can take multiple tuning cycles to reach acceptable system performance. ADDM benefits apply beyond production systems; on development and test systems, ADDM can provide an early warning of performance issues.
If you are using Oracle RAC, then run ADDM in Database analysis mode to analyze the throughput performance of all instances of the database. In Database mode, ADDM considers DB time as the sum of the database time for all database instances. Using the Database analysis mode enables you to view all findings that are significant to the entire database in a single report, instead of reviewing a separate report for each instance.
