Aside from performance logs what else does vCenter server store? I am going to be setting up a vCenter Sever on a permanent server for it. If i do not have any DRS or clustering setup is it ok to just remove the hosts from inventory on one vCenter Server and add them to the new one? I looked on google for this and the only thing I found was that some people suggest powering off the VM's and putting the host in maintenance mode. I have not found any real problems with doing this?

I am moving my vCenter and backup exec server to a PowerEdge 2850 that will be the permanent server for these. I may put vCenter Server in a VM once we are done with everything as everyone suggests to do.
 
Right click host -> disconnect
add to new VC
done :)

VC stores events, histories, grants universal access to hosts, etc.

Click to expand...

I thought you are supposed to do remove? disconnect keeps it in the vCenter inventory but stops monitoring it? that is what I have read.
