RE: multiple databases in a single RAC cluster

Yes, absolutely, we have one customer who has an 8 node RAC cluster that's running 12 databases, each with between 2 and 8 instances, and a pile of other customers with 2-4 node clusters with multiple databases. I'm sure there's some internal limitations as to the number of services that can be registered in the CRS, but I doubt many people run into it.

Thanks,
Matt

Subject: multiple databases in a single RAC cluster  

Hi, As much as Ive been browsing / studying rac... Im looking for a definitive answers about how many "databases" can be on one rac cluster.

Say I want to have 4 independent databases on one cluster, is that possible? I understand one can easily have multiple instances pointing to a single database (sga, control_file, db_name, spfile, archive_dest, etc) but what about several independent databses?

Any documents referencing this?

I found this on ask tom... just wanted to confirm with this group, probably in a more concise manner.

So, How many databases (sga, control_file, db_name, spfile, archive_dest, etc) can be in a single rac cluster?

thanks

Bob
