SAM/NPM - Server Provisioning

Hi,

We're trying to provision a server setup for NPM and SAM in our development environment, with both products integrated. Can anyone confirm the following would be possible:

A server hosting both NPM & SAM and 1x SQL Express 2012 instance with SAM DB hosted

A second server hosting SQL Express 2012 with the NPM DB hosted

Our main purpose of having 2 SQL Express servers is to work around the 1GB RAM limit that SQL will use on a server.

Would the above setup still allow NPM & SAM to act as 1 integrated product?

Cheers

No it will not work NPM and SAM share the same DB see the deployment guide Orion multi-module system guidelines . You can install NPM and SAM on the same server then install SQL on the other server SQL Express is only suitable for very small Orion installations. http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/Orion/docs/OriondbBestPractices.pdf

Hi stueyt12‌ ,
Unfortunately you can't split the databases like that, if the products are integrated they use the same database.
