One more thing, can the discovery server be the same piece of hardware as the discovery server?

The Configuration Discovery integration relies on items that are installed with EIE. When I did the integration, it failed because we only had AIE installed (which left out some of the original EIE components). The answer was installing EIE and then upgrading to AIE before performing the Configuration Discovery Integration. This was a bug in the install process and I'm not sure if it has been addressed yet.

Foundation Discovery/Topology Discovery: AR Server CMDB FD/TD DSL (A local copy of the DSL is also installed on the Discovery Server, the versions of DSL need to match on the Discovery and AR servers) Configuration Discovery: AR Server CMDB Configuration Discovery AIE DSL (Configuration Discovery does not require a local install of the DSL on the Discovery server as it looks to DSL on the AR Server for normalization) I believe these products have now been combined into a single product, in which case I would imagine they would use AIE to pull data into the CMDB and also utilize the DSL on the AR Server for normalization.

I am curious as to what all is required if I were to want to use BMC Discovery to populate the CMDB? Would I only need CMDB, Discovery, and DSL, or would there be additional utilities or tools required (other than the obvious, such as arserver)? I am mainly looking to get the data into the CMDB. I'm not concerned about presenting it in Asset Management at this point, only in populating the CMDB.
