Using UpdateMgr to update standalone ESXi with vCenter VM on it

$

Hi,

 

We have a standalone ESXi host running with a couple of VM's on it. One of these is running the vCenter.

 

Question is: Can I use Update Manager to update the host, when vCenter (and thereby Update Manager itself) is running as a VM on that same host? There no cluster, so nowhere to transfer the VM to. And since Update Manager starts by putting the host in maintenance mode my guess is this won't work. Question then is, is there another way? E.g. staging the host and somehow execute the staged updates after all the VM's (includning vCenter/UpMgr vm) have been shut down?
