Hello again everyone,
As per my first post about a week ago (Building a Distributed vCAC Installation with vCNS - Not quite sure on how to proceed), I started building a distributed vCAC configuration. Since the problems described within that post were "solved", I decided to open another topic (since now I have a complete different question).
The "vCAC 6.0 - Installation and Configuration" guide describes the following distributed infrastructure:

Clik here to view.
According to this design, if I´d want to build a high availability scenario, I´d need at least:
- 1x (v)PostgreSQL cluster;
- 1x MS SQL cluster;
- 3x VIPs (1 for the appliances; 1 for the Iaas Web; 1 for the Manager Service);
- 2x vCAC appliances;
- 2x Windows machines for the vCAC Web and Model Manager Data;
- 2x Windows machines for the vCAC Manager Service;
- Mixed amount of machines for DEMs and Agents.
I´m asking this because I´m still trying to make sense why it´s possible to install Web and Manager Service together (same machine) in a simple installation and not when in a distributed installation (for example, making each listen on different HTTPS ports).
Since I have almost zero experience with configuring or maintaining web servers I´m probably asking something which the answer is pretty obvious, but if anyone knows why or anyway to do it, I´d be very thankful. :-)
Best regards
