Jā, ja arī pareizi saprotu, tad ierobežojumu node skaitam nav, ir
tikai CPU slotu ierobežojums (tāds pats kā SE) uz visu klāsteri. Zemāk
ir izvilkums no Licensing dokumenta.
Varbūt Edgars Ruņģis var padalīties ar kādu precīzāku informāciju no
paša Oracle dzīlēm :)
-------------------------------------------------------
Oracle Standard Edition and Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle
RAC)
When used with Oracle Real Application Clusters in a clustered server
environment, Oracle Database Standard Edition requires the use of
Oracle Clusterware. Third-party clusterware management solutions are
not supported.
The license restrictions for Standard Edition must be adhered to. The
maximum number of CPUs defined is for the entire cluster; it is not a
per node maximum.
Automatic Storage Management (ASM) must be used to manage all database-
related files. Third-party volume managers and file systems are not
supported for this purpose. ASM is required for the storage of:
Database data files
Online logs
Archive logs
Control files
Server parameter files (spfiles)
Flash Recovery Area
RAW disk partitions are required for:
Voting disk
Oracle Cluster Registry
Local storage must be used for:
Oracle Home
Trace files
Dump files
No Oracle-maintained copies of any of the above files can exist in any
other locations, with the following exception: Customers who want to
manually script maintenance of a standby database can create a second
copy of their archive logs outside of ASM on a local file system only,
designated by the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter.
RMAN backups of files can reside on either a local or network mounted
file system.
No other cluster software can be installed on the system, including,
OCFS, OCFS2, third-party clusterware, third-party cluster volume
managers, and third-party cluster file systems.
