We currently have two different applications that use Oracle databases. Current configuration is two separate oracle homes dbhome_1, dbhome2 with separate LINUX mount points containing the Oracle homes and *.dbf files all on a single host server.
Previously the thought was to set up a second identical host server configured as a "data guard" for both of these databases. Now, management wants to implement a two node RAC cluster with each node running the both databases. With Standard Edition.
I have only done RAC for high availability and scalability for a single database. Is it possible to run two completely different Oracle databases on a two-node RAC cluster? I am inclined to suggest that they split it up into
two two-node RAC clusters on four smaller host servers. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated?
