SAM/NPM - Server Provisioning

stueyt12 Jan 26, 2016 5:25 AM

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

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

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
