Re: running EE and SE on VMware

  From what I know (not claiming to be most   

up-to-date on it though), Oracle recognizes/   

approves hard partitioning to limit any software licensing.         

 So, within the vSphere cluster, any dedicated hosts   

 for ESXi servers exclusively for oracle workloads   

 would be under soft partitioning category, which   

 Oracle’s license team may or may not approve..         

That said, per VMware, having DRS host affinity /   

VM-Host affinity rules / tracking VM movements   

across different hosts should help (in terms of   

audit compliance)..

Obviously this is easy to license if the EE and SE databases are on different VSphere clusters, but the question is: is it possible to license both EE and SE within the same VSphere cluster? Please let me know what you think? Thanks! -Tim -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
