I goofed. I have not set up a vmware system from scratch in a while...and i guess neither has our vendor.
So we didnt put "add vcenter appliance and connect vcenter to esxi host" on the to do list.
so i have a stand-alone esxi host running 2 prod VMs right now. I need vcenter on it for vshield/virtualized AV.
I have done some reading and watched some videos, but wanted to check again.
Will I have any downtime when adding the esxi host to vcenter? Maybe just a reboot? I want to do it saturday so i wont impact users but the site is 3 hours away so i dont want to have a giant problem pop up on me, since the vcenter appliance vm will have to just run on the one standalone host.
