What are the general guidelines when spinning up different applications on the same machine. For example, is it possible to deploy SUA, SCA, and WebReports on the same machine? Any reason to individually break these up?
The idea, especially for smaller shops, is to be able to start off with multiple services on one box to minimize the complexity. Then as they grow, split off the applications across more machines. Does anyone foresee any issues with this? Any services that should absolutely be split off since the beginning?
You can have SUA and web reports or SCA and web reports on the same machine. But I’ve read somewhere that SUA and SCA cannot be on the same machine.
If you want to use the centralized (default) VM Manager tool that is managed by the BigFix Inventory (SUA) / IBM License Metric Tool GUI, Web Reports must be on the same server as BigFix. If they are separate, you have to use the decentralized approach, where the VM Manager tool is managed by editing properties files directly.
