RE: two databases in a server

Kevin
   
  I had recently installed 5 node cluster based on some third party suggestion. 
I had moved one of the resource intensive application to the 5 node RAC 
environment. I had configure the setup to get maximum advantage of  RAC and it 
is indeed working but resources are still not completely utilized. I am now 
planning to consolidate few other production to the RAC and this database 
thread is really maing some good point. 
   
  Currently I have three more production database which are using Veritas 
Cluste with DB edition and so of 6 server, only 3 are active and if I will 
moved them to 5 Node RAC, I will be able to get rid of Oracle as well as 
Veritas License and also will able to completely utilized the RAC environment.
   
  Now question comes is that currently I have two instance running on each of 
5-Node as I am using one Db and other ASM instance. All node have Oracle Home 
locally and not on Shared Storage. All Production Database are Oracle 10g but 
should I go and create sperate instance for moving 3 non-RAC db or I should go 
for one more instance having THree Schema for each of 3 non-RAC DB's. 
   
  I can understand from the previous thread that 
  --> Seperate instance can allow to take one instance down for any maintenance 
with out affecting the other application
  --> Seperate instance need more DBA attention for proper maintenance, backup 
and monitoring
   
  But I want to clear is that if there is any disadvantage of running multiple 
Instance with RAC beside CPU/memory
   
  TIA

I think more likely and more painfull is the idea of trying back out
of 50 Opatch attempts that you wish you hadn't done !
