Is it possible to deploy vRA directly to ESXi host?

[anhdung88]

Dear all,

I think this question might be pretty silly but I'm really desperate.

However, after a hard google search, I only found documentation on deploying vRA via vCenter, while I am running a nested virtualization homelab in which there is only 1 physical server running ESXi and a nested DC (ESXi VM & vCenter VM) so I can't deploy vRA according to instructions (deploy to vCenter).

I am trying with vRA 8.10 but no lucks at all, there are weird errors while deploying vRA VM to my physical ESXi host.

As far as I know, no. At least using vRLCM

Once I had to do something like that, so I connected the physical host in my nested vCenter, just to deploy vRA.
