You can't do RAC or Dataguard for the Infra components (EM repository, RMAN
catalog, AWR Warehouse, RUEI database etc etc) without incurring additional
license liability. The restricted use license is single instance, single
database. I personally think EM belongs on infrastructure that is at least
as available as the most critical component it monitors, so that likely
means an existing RAC cluster with DataGuard - or an HA Virtualization
platform .

Non of the tech hosting OEM/OMS or rman needs license, you can even create
a RAC,

Chris,

Are you positive that nothing other than OMR and/or RMAN catalog is
running in that database? It seems odd that Oracle LMS would care about
the size of the physical hardware with an OMR or OMS.

Niall - I totally agree - my client just *happens *to be running their EM
environment on a 16 cpu-core server and Oracle LMS flagged it as
non-compliant even though OMS is definitely the only thing running on it.
They're saying we need either an 16 proc license or 200 named users.

That's correct. I've yet to see a requirement for a huge EM DB server
though.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong - for the Enterprise Manager restricted
use license listed below, we can run a single-instance Oracle db on any
size server we desire correct? The server that houses the db and EM
components doesn't have to be a certain size, right?

Or is there some limitations to the number of CPUs etc?

Enterprise Manager Restricted-use License

-

Enterprise Manager includes a restricted-use license of the Oracle
Database for use as the Oracle Management Repository only.

Additional database options or additional servers for disaster
recovery require separate licensing. Customers receive one
single-instance
database with the Grid Control, or RMAN, repository. To protect the
repository with Data Guard, customers need to purchase a license for the
standby site. To protect the repository with Oracle Real Application
Clusters, customers must license the second node for the database, and
both
nodes require an Oracle Real Application Clusters license.
-

Use of Oracle WebLogic Server with Oracle Enterprise Manager is
restricted to the servlet functionality without clustering for the Oracle
Management Server (OMS).
