Since i am installing NPM 11 for the first time and I'm receiving conflicting
information I am seeking tech suggestions to confirm or deny the statements below. For example,
the documentation says that it is not recommended to install NPM on the same server as
other solarwinds products that we own (patch manager). Yet i was told by an engineer
that it will be OK to do so in a low traffic network environment. Is it worth the risk? This is a production environment with 100 users and a dozen servers.
Also it appears from the docs that I must setup a new SQL database server to manage the NPM app,data and reports instead
of using an existing database. I need to know if I can use the same database/server
that i am using for patch manager without unnecessary risks. Otherwise, I will follow the docs so as not to deviate from the NPM standards.
Thanks
Steve
