Vcenter and DRS Cluster
I have 2 vsphere 6.5 hosts being managed by a vCenter 6.7. The vCenter is a vm on one of these hosts. My question is how can I create a drs cluster with these 2 hosts when you must turn off the vm's to add host to the cluster.

Can you not use Move Hosts into Cluster ?

My Vcenter is a Virtual machine on one of the too candidate hosts. If I shut down the VM's to join cluster I will have no Vcenter controlling hosts migration to the new cluster.

My solution was to spin up a new vm host and use it to hold my Vcenter server so that I could control my VMWare environment and then just move the Vcenter back to the cluster and take down the temporary host.
Virtualization
Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
