Converting VCenter stand alone to external Platform Service
I am setting up a second site in a different location. In my primary site, I have been using a VCenter appliance with an embedded Platform Service Controller.
I have set up external platform service controllers and I have made sure that they replicate as I can see licenses in the second site at this point. I am inserting a picture with the current layout.
Should I set up a different VCenter appliance in the primary site and decommission the old embedded one? or is there an easy way to convert the existing primary site VCenter from an embedded one to one that uses the external PSC?

virtual machines stay working when vcenter server goes down.
What is the purpose of extra complexity of this whole setup?

The second Site is eventually going to be a Disaster Recovery area run by VMware Site Recovery Manager. One of the requirements is to have VCenter working in the second site. I wanted to install them in enhanced linked mode.

I found that the wizard automatically stops the PSC on the embedded when you run the command so thanks
