Re: Another gotcha with 6.5 VCSA...
That having been said, the actual *process* for deploying a VCSA is nicely streamlined, along with the 6.0 U2 installer. (the earlier installers were... less than helpful regarding the order of what needed to be done.) The deployment wizard, while not very verbose, is straightforward enough, and the vCenter installer is very straight forward about what you need to do.
The Update Manager installer still sucks, though.
I also found that if one is using the embedded database for Update Manager, then it should probably go on it's own machine (NOT! the external PSC!), at least for a moderate deployment such as ours (~20 hosts and ~400 or so vms)
YMMV.
