Where did you get that info from?....

As long as you have enough resources in any particular box you can install Solman anywhere you want, is completely up to you.

What's you plan?

Undoubtfully its always a good idea to run a system in its own box where possible, simply because its easier to mantain, does not affect any other systems performance, does not require downtime in other systems whem DB/OS maintainance is done, etc.

Thanks Juan. Got the answer.

Infact i was reading somewhere and got these points -

SAP Solution Manager is designed to run in a central u2018monitoringu2019 system at the customer site where all other SAP systems and mySAP solutions (satellite systems) are connected:

u2022 The entire Solution Landscape can be documented (u2018living documentu2019) in a central system (in fact several Solution Landscapes can be managed)

u2022 SAP and Non-SAP Systems can be modeled

u2022 All core business processes can be graphically assigned to all available productive systems in a solution landscape

u2022 All connected SAP systems can be monitored by the central SAP Solution Manager system

u2022 Satellite systems submit data via RFC / agents into the central system

u2022 The system with the SAP Solution Manager installed has a connection to SAPNet R/3 Frontend and the SAP Service Marketplace to communicate with SAP Support Back Office

The SAP Solution Manager serves as a platform that includes several features in one application. The strength of the SAP Solution Manager is the strong integration into the mySAP.com Solution and the optimal knowledge transfer SAP-Partner-Customer including central monitoring features, mainly focusing on core business processes. However, additional features and tools (Support Desk, SAP Note Assistant, MS NetMeeting,u2026) that are integrated in the SAP Solution Manager, also play important roles within a customeru2019s solution management.

It is important to understand that it is not necessary or useful to always have all integrated SAP Solution Manager components installed on one system. For example it is possible to install the SAP Solution Manager on one system and connect to another System where the Support Desk is installed. The SAP Solution Manager then only serves as a portal to jump to the included Support Desk system without notice.

If the customeru2018s main focus is the management of core business processes through service roadmaps and monitoring via SAP EarlyWatch Alert, Service Level Management (reporting) and so on, SAP recommends the SAP Web Application Server as the best choice for the SAP Solution Manager installation as it is also the platform for the SAP Solution Architect and has fairly small hardware requirements.

Dear Pawan,

You have to install a solution manager (dual stack system) and Wily EM. Both of them are resouce intensive application. Hence it is advisable to install those systems on a seperate server.
