RE: OEM on vmware cluster

That sounds correct.  

A quick note about the notion that Oracle LMS might give you something in writing. I’m not saying they won’t.  

But that is not your contract. I would suggest searching up a relevant House of Bricks presentation regarding your contracts with Oracle.

OEM is free, but that is for a single instance database. So, you can have one single instance running oem without additional licensing requirements. 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.

You should be able to run OEM anywhere. I have had OEM on VMWare at audited sites with no flags raised, with the DB’s on OVM or bare metal.

However, I recommend agreement from Oracle LMS in written form, and take care not to breach any OEM free licensing (like using the Diagnostics/Tuning Pack or setting up any MAA against OEM itself, which is not licensed.)

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.
