Jeffrey,
It is absolutely NOT the case that all clusters need to be licensed. I
would suggest you engage a partner than specializes in running Oracle on
VMware like House of Brick that can walk you through this process step by
step.

We are thinking of consolidating our databases onto VM Ware servers. At
this point, we are still in the planning phase. Googling, I found
information stating that if VSPHERE 5.1+ is being used; then you need to
license Oracle on all VM Ware clusters and not just the cluster being
dedicated to the databases. Is this for real? If so, then we will have to
reconsider our plans.
