vCenter and external PSC

Do I need to create a VM/Host Rule to keep a Virtual vCenter Server and external PSC on the same ESXi host in a Cluster? Or are they fine on different hosts as long as time sync is configured properly? I've noticed my hosts can sometimes differentiate in time by 2 minutes.

As per me, it is highly recommended to have NTP/Time sync configured properly to avoid any issues.  I usually do not configure NTP and never faced any issue, however, all my deployments were test/Dev (Most of the time,  my deployments were embedded as well, everything on one machine). If it is production, it is must to have NTP settings configured.

DRS rules configuration can be your own choice. (Either VM host affinity or anti affinity.)
