JoeyTMann,While SMDC is not required for Storage Manager, it is the "retriever" part of Storage Manager, the part that goes out to different SC devices in the group and gets the details from them.Let me know if this helps.DELL-Chris H

The data collector, formaly knows as Enterprise Manager is needed/good for when
- Manage multible SCs
- Replication
- Tie-Breaker when doing autom. Failover
- Long Term Stats
- Reports
- .....
You can connect to it with the Storage Manager Client or when connecting to Unisphere with the help of your favorite Browser.

Well I only have one SC, and it should be decommissioned later this summer. So probably safe to uninstall?

It should be fine to uninstall it, but in my opinion if you are decommissioning it shortly there isn't really a reason to mess with it prior to doing so.
