BlackBerry UEM
 installation options

You can install all 
BlackBerry UEM
 components on one server, or you can install the components on separate servers. The setup application allows you to install the primary 
BlackBerry UEM
 components, the management console, and the device connectivity components separately. You can install 
BlackBerry UEM
 components on separate server for security reasons or if your server has system resource limitations.
  • You must install the 
    BlackBerry UEM
     primary components on one server before you install the management console or 
    BlackBerry Connectivity Node
     on separate servers.
  • When the primary components and management console are installed on the same server, the management console permanently binds to the local 
    BlackBerry UEM Core
    . The result is that the management console will not try to use any other instances of the 
    BlackBerry UEM Core
     unless the local 
    BlackBerry UEM Core
     is shut down.
  • For instructions on installing the components, and for instructions on configuring the 
    BlackBerry Connectivity Node
    , see the Installation and upgrade content.
You cannot install only the management console and the device connectivity components on the same server.
