Sorry, I'm going to have to differ with you on that one, have it from a pretty 
verifiable source, that RAC is not free anywhere, including with EM-  it's 
going to cost you... :)
It's not free.  If you use RAC under EM, it's a paid option.

RAC free for OEM - new one on me (although we do have site licenses so have had 
no need to investigate to a great detail)

Since without EM, we DBA's are often in the dark, I appreciate the proposal of 
RAC for the environment, but doesn't this kill the free licensing option that 
many companies take advantage of to keep costs down?  I would prefer to use my 
EM monitoring and alert script vs. having to go to my manager and explain to 
him that I need more budget for licensing costs!  Correct me if RAC is free for 
EM, but I see no documentation saying otherwise.
Thanks!

Hi.

Take a look at this:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/doc.121/e24473/ha_intro.htm#EMADM10659

From your description it sounds like you are only planning a level 1
setup (1 repository instance and 1 OMS instance). If that is the case,
I see very little benefit to having it on 2 machines, as opposed to 1.
If either DB or OMS machine dies it's all gone anyway. Since the two
servers in this setup provide no additional resilience, I would prefer
a simpler solution of a single server myself.

Of course, if the plan is to move to a more resilient solution in the
future, it may alter my opinion somewhat.

Cheers

Tim...
