I didn't see anyone mention this (off) topic on the list. On Dec 7th, 3 PM EST there was a podcast for VMware with several guests discussing virtualizing Oracle databases on VMware vSphere. http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/talkCast.jsp?masterId=19367&pageNumber=0&pageSize=15

There were a few sites referenced during the call:

http://virtualtoddsbigblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/model-for-oracle-on-vsphere.html

https://community.emc.com/community/connect/everything_oracle/blog/2011/11/17/emc-it-virtual-oracle-deployment-framework-whitepaper-published

A virtualized 4 node, 12 cores per socket, 1 socket per node, 48 core Oracle Standard Edition RAC cluster was mentioned. That would handle being a node down much better than a pair of dual socketed boxes/blades and still perhaps jump through the licensing hoops.
