I agree, House of Brick is a good resource to check out in regards to licensing
on VMware. See their website and this whitepaper:

Subject: [External] Re: Oracle database on VM Ware
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

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.
