Re: OEM on vmware cluster

Really? I thought we could only ever run one free single instance em db! I was wondering how we would test a patch before deployment.

If you have a RAC database or a standby, you will need to buy license.  Others have already covered the licensing requirements for additional packs.

Additional packs like Database Diagnostic Pack and Tuning pack are purchased for the database which enable certain pages/functionalities on OEM. Is there any license restriction to host OEM VM running OEM application along with repository database to reside in the same vmware cluster as the licensed databases or can it be outside on a different cluster? Thanks for your time.
