I wanted to move vcenter to a virtual machine running on one of the ESXi hosts that it was managing. Chicken and egg huh :) but this is actually a supported configuration.
So I removed all the hosts, shutdown vCenter, created the new virtual machine, installed vCenter and tried to add the first host and received a very cryptic 'You do not hold privilege "System > View" on folder ""'.
Hmmm....
Turns out it because I chose to turn on "Lockdown" mode on all the hosts which restricts who can administer them. Logging in via iLO to the host itself and disabling lockdown in the VMware console does the trick.
