Scheduled

IST has scheduled a maintenance window for production vCenter Servers to apply the latest security patches.

Post-vCenter update, vSphere Host updates will roll out through March/April.
This will be transparent to running VMs (via live migration), except for host-affinity VMs—we’ll contact owners individually to coordinate. No action required unless notified.

What would be impacted during the maintenance window?
- access to vCenter server, e.g. taking snapshot

What will NOT be impacted during the maintenance window?
- VMs running in the virtual infrastructure
- Remote Access to VM Server through SSH/RDP
