Although you can run the components on the same host, and some users do so (maybe thinking of such a configuration as an "appliance"), in general, we do not advise this type of configuration. As Mikhail points out, the components must all be at the same fix pack level, e.g., if server is at 8.1.10, then DP for VMware must also be at 8.1.10. When you upgrade one component to a newer fix pack level, you must upgrade the other components as well.
It is advised that the server be configured in accordance with our blueprints https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/1146352, so any "all in one box" solution should take into consideration the additional workload that DP for VMware and the Storage Agent place on the host that also runs IBM Spectrum Protect server.
