Hi Rick, Best to install the full suite, makes for less issues in the future and for the possibility that this may end up being another user server or similar.
You could also think about cloning an existing server and updating the required references. As the operations that you specify will only run on this server, you can allocate system resources through configuration to target the operations that will occur on this server than that of the other servers i.e. more memory to CMDB and RE that the other servers (through Java settings, etc). Effectively you would tune this server for specific tasks/operations. Ideally you would allocate more memory to this server to accommodate the additional overheads and functions. _____ Kind Regards, Carl Wilson From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Rick Phillips Sent: 20 February 2015 22:01 To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: 8.1 server group architecture ** Thanks, LJ, I was just wondering if I could reduce my upgrade/patching LOE (throughout the server group) by using a reduced number of installed apps on machines I don't want involved in failover.

The admin server carries the load of all admin functions, while the non-admin server is only for end users. Recently, some of my atrium work has really been taxing the resources of my admin server (extremely high CPU and RAM utilization), and I'm investigating adding a third server solely for atrium/spoon (recon, normalization, custom spoon jobs, etc.). My question is: can I simply install ARS and Atrium on this third server, or do I have to install the entire suite?
