vCenter 7 on Management Network not possible!??

Hello,

I want to install vCenter 7 for 2 host (before version 6, version 8 can't be used yet as Veeam CDP is supposed to be used). However, I cannot install vCenter 7 with a management network port/port group (only VM network) - I would like to or have to for security reasons..!
The following separate networks are panned
- VM-Network-LAN (VMs in the LAN)
- VM network DMS (VMs in DMZ firewall zone accessible from outside...)
- Management Network (hosts and vCenter)
- iSCSI

What do I have to do so that vCenter 7 can also be used with the management network?
I'm thankful for every tip...

There is no error message, but I cannot select the management network when installing vCenter 7..?

Best regards

Can you confirm that you have a "VM port group" for the Management network?

The Management Port Group is only for the Management vmkernel interface.  What's the issue with using the VM Network Port Group?  It can be on the same VLAN and is the standard way of doing things.
