requirements:
Table 1-1

NOTE:

Server Usage
PlateSpin Orchestrate Server:
Your server might be capable of
handling tasks in addition to the tasks an Orchestrate Server
performs for PlateSpin Orchestrate. However, we strongly
recommend that you install the Orchestrate Server software on a
dedicated server to ensure optimal performance. For example, you
might not want the server to host Novell eDirectory
TM
.
NOTE:
Although you can install the PlateSpin Orchestrate Server on
a Virtual Machine, do not try to manage that server using PlateSpin
Orchestrate. In addition, installing the server on a VM slows down
the performance of the product.
PlateSpin Orchestrate Monitoring Server:
This pattern is an
Apache* Web server that is installed alongside the Orchestrate
Server.
Refer to the information in
Appendix A, “PlateSpin Orchestrate
Components: Install Patterns,” on page 125
for more detail about these
patterns.
