What are the pros/cons of running vCenter Appliance VM on the hosts it is managing?
As a general guideline, I prefer NOT to run a vCenter VM on the same host environment it is managing. Rather, I have a dedicated management cluster for such VMs. However, I'm looking at a vCenter installation in a secured network that doesn't have access to the management cluster. It would greatly simplify the configuration if I can install vCenter on the same cluster as the hosts it will manage. But I'd like to know what the implications of doing so are before moving down that path.
Thanks.
