I would spread them out, assuming you have the capacity to handle the database 
load on 1 cluster.

Assuming all 3 databases are production:

Use 2 nodes (lowest capacity) as a test cluster.  Use the remaining 7 nodes 2-3 
clusters with 1-2 databases as the prod clusters.  Trust me, you will want a 
cluster to test with, RAC does NOT work as documented.  There are lot's of 
workarounds, especially if you are using ASM & OMF.   Don't get me wrong, I 
like RAC just that it is more difficult to support than Non-RAC.

Subject: RAC newbie question

I am curious on your thoughts on this.......we have 3 unrelated
databases and 9 boxes to put them on.

Would you recommend one 9 node cluster and put them on that one or three
3 node clusters (one for each database)?

We are looking at the pros/cons of each.  Does anyone have any thought
either way?
