I suppose nothing "special" except that you'll have very few options for allocating resources between the two database instances on each node in the cluster. This is why I personally strive for a single RAC instance on each node of the clusters I deal with. In most cases, people are using RAC for their most sensitive, mission-critical application, so it's usually relatively easy to make the argument for finding somewhere else to put the "other" databases. This usually provokes a discussion about whether the database(s) in question *really* are mission-critical or not. Or, alternatively, consolidate them into a single database where some resource allocation can be made.

This problem is really not much different than putting multiple single-instance databases on a standalone, non-clustered server.

Do you mean two different two-instance databases?  Yes, its possible. Nothing really special to worry about it.

Hello,

    In a 2-node cluster is it possible to have 2 Rac Clusters,

installed on the 2 servers ? If so, any issues to consider.
