vCenter Host Patching – Impact to replication

Hello,

I need to apply some security patches to the ESXi host running our vCenter instance at our recovery site. To be clear, I’m not updating vCenter itself.

vCenter will be down whilst the patches are applied, will Zerto replication continue to function without it? The ZVM and zVRA’s will be untouched. I expect downtime to be around 20 minutes.

Zerto v7.9 Update 2 Built 070225004.

Thanks in advance,

Nathan
