Re: How many OMSs?

Hi Bobby

I don't think you are quite correct on the included DB licensing. https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E63000_01/OEMLI/introduction.htm#OEMLI113 makes it clear that RAC (and DR) require licensing. All you get "free" is a single instance DB. My reading is that the RMAN catalog can be hosted in the same repository DB without additional license liability but I'd host that elsewhere anyway :)
