According to this thread and this one: http://communities.vmware.com/message/522671#522671 about licensing I still have a question:

We all know that at the moment it is possible to configure a virtual machine with 4 cpus max.. I have read that oracle counts 0.5 points per core for licensing.

So what if you have a HA/DRS Cluster with 8 hosts (each host having 2 dualcore cpus) will it be necessary to license oracle with 16 points ( 8 * 2 cpu * 2 cores * 0.5 points/core) for 32 cores? It could be that an oracle server might run on every cpu, couldn't it? I am wrong?
