Repository connect issue after MDM Patch Upgrade

We recently upgraded our MDM patch from SP06 5.5.63.73 to SP06 5.5.65.91

after patch upgrade we are not able to connect to repository.SAP is saying that we have wong NLS Character set.It should be 'UTF8' or 'AL32UTF8'

We checked and found that we do not have character set as per SAP Recommendation but everything was working fine before upgrading the patch.As per SAP in new Patch MDM is lokking for Unicode Character set

SAP is asking to create new DB Instance for MDM.

If we create new instance for MDM then how we are going to use our existing repository.Our environment is clustered environment and name of MDM DB instance is also mentioned in cluster.We have to use same Instance name.We are also using oracle failsafe

Creating new instance seems to be risky for Production environment.Currently we are applying the Patch in Sandbox Environment

has anyone of you faced this problem while upgrading MDM patch, if yes then how you resolve the issue

Please help

Thanks
