It is certainly possible, but generally not recommended for production databases: - kernel parameters like CACHE_SIZE and MAXCPU must be set such that the limits of the machine are distributed among the database instances - devspaces/volumes for different databases shouldn't be placed on the same disk - you should install one copy of the SAP DB software per database instance. Having them share the software installation makes upgrading much harder.
