The answer depends on what discovery tool you plan to use. Here's the answer for the two that I know.
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.
