If I'm reading it correctly, you have an existing cluster running 10gR2 RAC with ASM (are they in different ORACLE_HOME's, by the way?) and you want to create another RAC database. Is that correct? If it is, I guess my question back to you is why? Why not run these together in a single database? Doing that would minimize resource usage and administration time. I'm not sure what benefit you get from having two databases, unless you have some application that has to be in its own database to be supported by the vendor (and even there I'd go back to the vendor and ask them to explain why).
