Are you saying that if you had a cluster of 5 physical hosts in a cluster and
you were running 3 virtual guest hosts that were running Oracle instances, then
you'd have to license the physical hardware for 3 physical hosts even if you're
running all three Oracle guest hosts on a single physical box? That's
ridiculous, but again, I wouldn't be surprised to hear it from Oracle Sales.
Of course, just because it comes from Oracle Sales doesn't make it true - I've
received conflicting answers from different Oracle Sales reps and had to
correct them myself on more than one occasion.
The documentation from Oracle says that you have to license all the processors
for the hosts on which you are running Oracle, regardless of the number of
virtuals or any "soft partitioning". That's what the documentation says so
that's what I'm going with until I see otherwise in official Oracle
documentation.
Thanks,
Brandon

I did some research a while ago about this topic and what I heared from Oracle
is that you need to license the minimum between the number of virtual guests
and the number of physical servers in the cluster.
