So I have two datacenters, one for vcenter.vmware.local and one for vcenter-vsan1.vmware.local. I have deployed vrni into the first datacenter via vrslcm. Now to be able to deploy a remote collector into the second datacenter in vrslcm the vcenter need to be added to the same datacenter in vrslcm. This will give you the option in vrslcm when you add a component. It will deploy vrni collector with the existing deployed vrni cluster in datacenter1. Will give you a second vcenter to select from in datacenter 2. See the below picture
