How to export oracle RAC database using expdp

Running expdp on Multiple RAC Instances in Parallel

There are few points which must be considered while running an export job on oracle RAC database.

Whether you wish to start the export job on all or selected list of Instances or on the Instances where from you are invoking expdp.
If you are using CLUSTER=YES (by default) you are starting export worker process on other Oracle RAC instances too.
If you are using CLUSTER=YES (by default) then the shared directory path must be available on all the Instances.
Use of the CLUSTER=YES parameter may affect performance because there is some additional overhead in distributing the export job across Oracle RAC instances. For small jobs, it may be better to specify CLUSTER=NO.

Example:
parfile content
directory=ASM_DUMP
dumpfile=EXP_TEST_%U.dmp
FILESIZE=10G
logfile=EXT:EXP_TEST.log
schemas=TEST01
CLUSTER=NO

TNS Used by expdp
Note: It resolves cluster and therefore can connect to any instance of the cluster
TEST_EXP =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = rac01-scan.oracle.com)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = test.oracle.com)
    )
)

$ tnsping TEST_EXP
Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = rac01-scan.oracle.com)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = test.oracle.com)))
OK (10 msec)

$ expdp system@TEST_EXP parfile=TEST_EXP.par

Let us make a little change in parameter file and start the export with this new parfile

parfile content

directory=ASM_DUMP
dumpfile=EXP_TEST_%U.dmp
FILESIZE=10G
logfile=EXT:EXP_TEST.log
schemas=TEST01
CLUSTER=YES
