Good question and I don’t know the answer for sure. I’ve never seen the answer
for that specific scenario in any Oracle documentation. My guess is that it
would fall under what they consider to be “Failover” as defined on page 20 of
the Software Investment Guide
(http://www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/sig.pdf), which means the other hosts
don’t have to be licensed unless we run Oracle on them for more than 10 days in
a year. Currently we are licensed only for the physical hardware on the hosts
where the databases run and we recently passed an Oracle Licensing audit so I
guess we’re okay.

I’m curious how licensing works with VMotion. Do you have to license oracle
for the all hosts in the environment, including the host(s) that aren’t being
used until failover?
