How to add Bam in multi-server environment?

[wes]

we have 2 biztalk servers in a group and a separate sql server. Its all
working fine and processing files. Now we want to add BAM to this scenario.
What should we do? Do we have to unconfigure both biztalk servers and
reconfigure ?
After reading the Bam Doc I figured these are the steps:

Bam requires Analysis services, Notification services and Integration
services.
Notification services and Integration services must be installed on the
biztalk server where the bam componants is installed.
Database Services and SSAS are installed on the SQL Server; SSIS and SSNS
should be installed on the BizTalk BAM Server

so My question would be If i install SSIS and SSNS on one of the biztalk
groups then should I un configure biztalk and reconfigure adding bam? or
just go to configuration and add Bam? what about my second biztalk server?


Thanks

Wes,

You need to have SQL Client Tools(PreRequisite) on BizTalk Machines.
Analysis Services and SSIS are to be installed on your remote SQL Server

The following blog entry describes about the error you might see when you
try to configure BAM

And BAM portal doesnt install on both servers in the group, it install on
first one and if you go second sever it will show it as configured. Heres the
article from MSDN for configuring BAM on multiserver on NLB
