Of course you can use one NW server with multiple devices (AFTD or DDboost) which can live on multiple DDs as well. However, your last statement is different than your first one.
If you mean anything else then please explain in more details as I/we obviously do not understand your question).
Nw client and resource db's always are deployed on the nw server itself. I would never ever put them on nfs share for example if that is what you mean with "live"? You could create nfs or cifs shares on a DD and put data on it, however for the required i/o I would not wanna use that for a backup server, ever. Would also make ddos patching somewhat more intrusive as one would have to shutdown nw services.
If you however mean with "live" if nw server protection backup (so containing the bootstrap backup and nw client indices) towards a DD, ofcourse it can.
Officially still such backups should go towards a device connected directly to the nwserver and not via a nw storage node (but one could trick that by specifying a nw storage for thr nw server, but it creates an additional requirement when performing a desaster recovery, hence it is advised against for nw bootstrap backups.

Installing NW on a DD is not possible as it works with a non-standard OS (DDOS). Of course this statement is also true for NMC.

I am aware of that.
I'm looking at the configuration of a NWK server plus multiple DDs.
