Hello,
This was moved to the vCenter server forum.
THe location server is used by vShield Manager and a few other services such as VIN, so it may not have much of an impact on your environment. However, you should backup this system and perhaps keep it on your vCenter server. Since I switched to the VCSA the location server is part of it.
Best regards,
Edward L. Haletky
