SRM, with vCenter from Essentials kit (non standard licencing setup)

$

Hi,

 

I'm looking to deploy SRM for the first time.

In site A (3 hosts), I have a vSphere Essentials Plus licence kit that was purchased a while back, and I know that the vCenter Server 'Essentials' in that kit is compatible with SRM.

One of the 3 hosts in Site A is using one out the three vSphere Essentials Plus licences from the beforementioned kit.

The two other hosts are actually licenced with keys from separate licencing purchases (1x Enterprise, 1 Essentials Plus OEM)

 

I have 2 two hosts in site B, licenced with the remaining two Essentials Plus keys from my Essentials Plus kit.

I believe that for SRM to work, all I need now is a second vCenter Server instance for site B.

Can I just purchase a vSphere Essentials kit (it's cheap), and use the vCenter Server Essentials included in that kit?

I'm hoping to add my two hosts in site B to a new DR cluster that I create over on that site, using my new vCenter Server instance from the Essentials kit

 

Thanks for your help
