Remove SAP DS from existing BI cluster

Hi All,

I have a clustered BI/DS environment where BI 4.0 are on primary and secondary nodes and third node (All win 2008 R2 server) has Data Services 4.0 installed.

Some parts of DS like Job Server, APS, Tomcat has been separately installed on BI 4.0 primary node. Hence all type of users and repo management is done through CMC.

My question is can I remove DS from my existing cluster and make it a functional standalone box? If yes do I need to install IPS to integrate CMC, Tomcat in DS node itself? Can I use my local SIA created on DS server?

Thanks,

AT
