I'm sure Cognos Support must have answered this question for you.  However, in case, it shouldn't matter that the content store or metric store is of different data base server.  (As long as those server are supported.)
Your issue may be related to different problem.

From you description, it looks like you are trying to create a new metric store using Metric Designer.
