Insight Report seperate server or same as Core (DFM) install?

I'm wondering how many people have installed OnCommand Insight Report on the same server as OnCommand Core (which includes DFM). Have you had any issues?

The installation and admistration documentation for Insight report says the following.

Software Do not install OnCommand Insight Report on a host that runs any of the following:

• DataFabric Manager server

• OnCommand Insight (previously known as SANscreen)

The reason for separate servers is most likely a conflict of ports used by each product.

@Pascal, I agree that is why some might do it, but to have a server dedicated to Insight Report is a waste of resources. If it is just so ports don't conflict the Install Wizard lets you modify the ports so you don't have to worry about that.
