I just want to clear up a few things.
I already have a vcenter install and connected to a mssql database. sso is currently on the vcenter server and inventory service is on the update manager server.
I am now setting up a new vcenter server that will connect to the same database as the old vcenter server. I have sso installed on the second vcenter server.
Now when i run the wizard to install vcenter, (I am skipping inventory service because I want to reuse the same inventory service I have), it prompts for the vcenter inventory service url which is
htps://updatemanagerirl:10443
