Installing the Server Object Container
The server object manager and server object container can be installed on the same machine or on different machines. In this installation scenario, the server object container will be installed on a separate machine than the server object manager. You can install the server object container on many machines. This topic only discusses installing the Server Object Container feature. You will need to install the server object manager on another machine. The server object manager manages the set of server objects that are distributed across one or more server object container machines. See Installing the Server Object Manager for more information. To install the server object manager and server object container on the same machine, see Performing a typical installation.
