I would like to get anyone’s 
thoughts on the following two sharing options.
 
1)       
Multiple databases on 1 
RAC.
 
My client plans to break up a 10 
node RAC into 3 separate RAC clusters. Oracle told them that a rule of thumb is 
to not have more then 4 databases sharing a RAC. I hadn’t heard this before. 
What are the pros and cons of each?
 
2)       
Multiple databases sharing the same 
ASM disk groups.
 
My client has 8 databases sharing 
the same ASM disk group. Oracle told them that this is a best practice. Should 
each database have their own ASM disk group? Or should they let all of the 
databases on the RAC share the same disk groups?
