You can use multiple entity managers in a Symfony2 application. This is necessary if you are using different databases or even vendors with entirely different sets of entities. In other words, one entity manager that connects to one database will handle some entities while another entity manager that connects to another database might handle the rest.

You need more than one entity manager if you want to connect to multiple databases.

Moreover, if you want to use Doctrine PHPCR or Doctrine OXM, you have to use their respective entity manager.
