Can we upgrade Chassis without shutting down the Guests?

Hi,

 

We are planning to upgrade the chassis. We have 6 guests running on this chassis. Chassis is running standalone mode. Can we upgrade the chassis software without shutting down the Guests?

    Anytime you upgrade the OS on the Chassis, it will require a reboot which means the guests will need to be shut down - unless you are HA mode.
