Hello VMware community!
So I have been working with vSphere and Veeam for a few years now. I recently was hired to a new organization which utilizes new technologies that I am not really familiar with - vDS and vSAN (VxRail). Basically, I have been pretty much used to a more simple environment with embedded VCSA and now working with a physical server running vCenter 6.5 update 2 on top of Windows Server 2008r2 sp1. The virtual environment is backed up by Veeam VMs.
My issue is the lack of patch management for the current severs here...vCenter being one of them. I purchased a physical host license from Veeam to backup the server and my question is not regarding this. My question is the availability of vSAN and the vDS during the potential vCenter outages that may happen during the patching of this server. I have done some research on this I wanted to post this to get some input on this. Even links to KBs would be appreciated.
I am no stranger to fixing things I break but proprietary equipment (VxRail) with technology I haven't worked with to much (vSAN, vDS) scares me a little.
Thanks
