Hey all,
I've been through most of the official vsphere 6 docs and KBs, plus some blogs here and there. and I still did not find a definite answer to what I'm trying to achieve.
Basically, I have the following setup [2 vCenters in linked mode, with Embedded SSO | 1 vCenter with Standalone Embedded SSO]:

I'm trying to do vSphere 6 upgrade and get benefit of Enhanced Linked Mode. and to future proof my setup. thus, I want to have PSC on separate VMs.
KB2130433 Addresses the below part of the setup:

But I'm not sure about the other part where I want to join The third vCenter to the new PSC unified Domain.
I have the following plan in my mind (derived from KB2130433):
- create 3 new VMs
- install a new SSO in VM1 ( with First vCenter / Standalone Option )
- install the 2 other SSOs in VM(2/3) ( with Multisite / New logical site Option )
- Re-point First vCenter ( with Main SSO )
- Re-point Rest vCenters (including Standalone vCenter)
- Uninstall Embedded SSOs in all vCenters
- Do Upgrade from SSO 5.5 to PSC 6.0U1
- Upgrade vCenter 5.5U2 to 6.0U1 Directly
Does anyone know if this would work or not? Suggestions for other approaches?
Note: if a reinstall is required of any of the vCenters, I really must keep my inventory details (VMs Tags at least).
