Hi Solaris_1977,
As Peasant says you can cap the cpu on zones, to limit licence costs - this model is not accepted for VM Ware. The full CPU count is licensed for each Oracle Instance (we know this from experience and it was a real ouch moment!), so when we were audited about six months into a project - there was a serious headless chicken moment due to the increase in costs.
Running zoned multiple instances of Oracle inside an LDOM means that without capping at a zone level, each instance has to be licensed for the whole LDOM capping the zones means you can control the licensing costs better.
If you have the databases covered with log shipping for Geo resilience and Clusters for Local resilience I don't really see how you could improve much on that. Unless of course someone wants to add a zero to your budget to get that extra point 9 uptime.
The Oracle license model is difficult to understand some times in my experience, looking at the oracle site for any length of time and you seem to find contradictory information - so I just leave all that to the Architects now and they tell me what I have to build for them.
Regards
Gull04

databases(5) GNATS configuration files databases(5)
NAME
databases - the known set of GNATS databases
DESCRIPTION
The databases configuration file is a site-wide configuration file containing the list of GNATS databases that are available either on the
host itself or remotely over the network, together with some parameters associated with each database. It is located in the directory
/usr/share/gnats.
The file contains one line for each database. For databases located on the host itself, each line consists of three fields separated by
colons:
database name:short description:/path/to/database
The first field is the database name. This is the name used to identify the database when invoking programs such as query-pr or send-pr,
either by using the --database option of the program or by setting the GNATSDB environment variable to the name of the database. The sec-
ond field is a short human-readable description of the database contents, and the final field is the directory where the database contents
are kept.
For a database that is located across a network, but which should be accessible from this host, the entry for the database should look like
this:
database name:short description of database::hostname:port
The first two fields are the same as for local databases, the third field is empty (notice the two adjacent `:' symbols, indicating an
empty field), the fourth field is the hostname of the remote GNATS server, and the fifth field is the port number that the remote GNATS
server is running on.
Note that if you add a new local database, you must create its data directory, including appropriate subdirectories and administrative
files after adding an entry to databases. This is best done using the mkdb tool.
Lines beginning with a # are ignored.
The database name default is special; this is the entry used if no database name is specified via a --database option or the GNATSDB envi-
ronment variable.
