Note that directly deploying from ova wont work.  The setup wizard is buggy and even when "Platform Services Controller" is chosen, the setup assumes Embedded PSC and finally deployed PSC appears as embbedded.  Later on when we try to deploy vCenter without embedded PSC and join to this PSC SSO, we get error that PSC is embedeed.  Hence using ui installer for deploying independent PSC is must.

# Go to appropriate OS vCenter installer (eg vcsa-ui-installer/lin64) inside the vcenter iso file (eg VMware-VCSA-all-6.5.0-7312210.iso)
# Click Install
# Click next
# Accept license agreement and click next
# Select "Platform Services Controller"
# On Appliance deployment target give ESXi host (and not vcenter) details such as
#;     ESXi host name : host3.rnd.com
#;     HTTPS port : 443
#;     User name : root
#;     Password : redacted
#:   and click next
# On certificate warning click 'Yes'
# On Setup appliance VM use
#;   VM name: psc.rnd.com
#;   Root password: redacted (Complex)
# Select datastore and enable thin mode, if required. In case of local NFS storage from VMs the setup might fail due to space full error even when space is there.  In such cases setting up PSC first on local datastore and then later doing storage vMotion to NFS might be better.
# On configure network settings page, use:
#;      Network : appropriate vSwitch network
#;      IP version : IPv4
#;      IP assignment : static 
#;      System name : psc.rnd.com 
#;      IP address, Prefix, Gateway and DNS : Appropriate values
# Start the stage1 of setup.
# After stage1 proceed to stage2.  At stage 2 on appliance configuration give appropriate NTP server, enable SSH and continue
# In SSO configuration choose "Create a new SSO domain" if not setting up DR site for linked mode and enter appropriate values
#;	SSO domain name : vsphere.local   
#:            Change this only if necessary, this can be different from AD domains
#;	SSO username : administrator
#;        SSO password : redacted
#;        Site name : gbbrnd
# Choose to opt-out of CEIP and click next
# Review values and click finish to start stage2 of PSC deployment
# After deployment is complete try to access https://psc.rnd.com/psc with administrator@vsphere.local and password.
