The VM needs to be moved to another host?

vCenter 4 is running on a VM on vHost1. When trying to run an update for vHost one I receive this message.

The host has a VM vCenter with VMware vCenter Update Manager or VMware vCenter installed. The VM needs to be moved to another host for the remediation process to proceed.

Before I move the VM running vCenter to another host I thought I should ask if there is a better way to update vHost1?

Thanks for your help. This is all pretty new to me.

use VMotion to move your vCenter guest, you'll be fine. Or if you have DRS set to fully automated when you remediate the host(s) DRS will move all your guest.

This is a totally new setup so I first had to learn how to configure vMotion.

Works great. Update complete.

Thank you.
