Hello Bernard,

Assuming clustered DB means Oracle Real Application Cluster (aka RAC) -
yes, you can point spacewalk to RAC. Just create /etc/tnsnames.ora with
appropriate service description and pass that service name to
spacewalk-setup as database name.

On the other hand RAC might be a good performance booster rather
recovery solution.

I'm not sure what you mean by multimaster replication.
Correct disaster recovery solution is Oracle Data Guard (aka Standby database).
