Hi Nishan, This is also fine, so long as you configure the database appropriately to handle the load from 3 CM servers and whatever else you point at it. When concerned about handling database load from multiple applications, I would expect that it's generally better to run a single instance on a host than to run several instances on the same host, since there would be lower overhead. Multiple instances on the same host can help with isolation, but not with handling more load. Monitoring databases tend to use a lot of resources if your cluster has a lot of activity, so be cautious about sharing monitoring databases. The database for CM doesn't generally get as much load. Depending on your cluster size / activity and the hardware / tuning you have for your Oracle, you may find it better to run multiple instances on different machines to ensure each daemon performs well. Thanks, Darren
