I have being working with FD/TD through different patch levels since Feb. Trust me this should be on its own box with a local Database installed (Oracle or MSSQL). Save yourself the pain, convince someone to allocate a single box for this as BMC recommends. This is a resource intensive app when doing discoveries and reading writing CI data to the disco DB. And even more intensive when syncing data into the CMDB.

Rick, That is interesting. We are trying to setup Foundation and Topology Discovery. These two pieces shared the same BMC Datastore. FD and TD look to be small and lite, but the datastore that they shared is big (2GB). We really have no choice but to install FD/TD Datastore on the same SQL Server box having ARSystem on the default instance already. My initial plan is to create another SQL instance for FD/TD datastore and install FD and TD application piece on the Midtier. Do you have any recommendation for those that don't have much choice due to system resource, but to setup ARSystem/ITSM/Discovery Suite on limited Servers.

There's a reason BMC recommends that FD be on its own server.
