A single node RAC install means that CRS is installed, and db and other
services run under the control of CRS, and you have the option of
adding another node at a later date without having to reinstall the
software (i.e. converting from a non-RAC to a RAC install). Sometimes
we get requests to create a single node RAC for testing- it is more to
simplify the DBA's work during a later conversion to RAC, or to validate
the OS platform for RAC without having to get a 2nd node.

I really don't like getting into licensing questions ... however
What is a single-node RAC installation?
I believe all Enterprise Edition gets you is the ability to use the
Clusterware (Grid Infrastructure), not install the RAC option in the
database.

Jon -
You probably have to verify with your customer support rep, but I
believe even a single-node RAC installation requires a the RAC license.
All licensing questions usually favor Oracle.

If I run a single-node RAC cluster, do I actually need to purchase a RAC
license, or will a Oracle Enterprise license be sufficient ?
