Re : 1. How many of you do run, and are comfortable running, multiple databases on the same server, whether it is "partitioned" or not ? 2. Do you create a seperate ORACLE_HOME for each instance ? 3. Do you just buy the Oracle DB CPU license on the total number of CPUs on the server ? The conse

RE: Running multiple instances on a [large] serverBy "environment" do you mean "instance"? If so, couldn't you accomplish the same thing with one oracle home on each server for each version installed? That's what we do in our clustered environments. Each node has an oracle home for each version of

Hemant Dick makes a good point about physical memory. The problem with a lot of instances is that they all have fixed amounts of memory (except in 9i, up to SGA_MAX_SIZE), and if one instance needs more memory you can't reallocate unless you bounce it to add memory and maybe bounce several other

Hemant What you are considering is certainly feasible. Consider how compatible these applications are, whether they have similar requirements in terms of uptime. Are their performance requirements compatible? One factor to consider is future upgrade paths of the applications. We seem to run into

I can't remember the last time that I saw a server (other than WinNT) running a single instance. My experience is that it's quite normal to run multiple instances on a single server. One Oracle home per version of Oracle. I'm not sure what the point of a separate Oracle home per instance would
