Hi Team,
I am looking for HPE Custom Image for ESXi 7.0 U3 Install CD for 7.0 U3g Build 20328353. Currenlty in VMware website, I can find custom image for the above build number for Synergy systems only not for the Prolient or standard one.
Standard one is updated to the latest build U3i.
We need it custom image with build 20328353 for the customers running VCF environment migrating from VCF 3xto4x software versions wherein 20328353 is part of supported target version
If you have maintanined the old ESXi custom images, please do share the referecenes.
Thank you,
Chethan

Hi Dane,
Thank you for the reply.
I am aware that the ESXi image with build 20328353 available in VMware website, but its for Synergy systems, not for the regular standard systems (Proliant).
I am looking for custom ESXi image with build 20328353 for HPE regular standard systems (Proliant).
Best regards,
Chethan

Re: Looking for HPE Custom Image for ESXi 7.0 U3 Install CD for 7.0 U3g Build 20328353
The current HPE Custom Image for ProLiant installs ESXi 7.0 Update 3i as you already noted:
VMware-ESXi-7.0.3-20842708-HPE-703.0.0.11.1.0.25-Dec2022.iso
VMware-ESXi-7.0.3-20842708-HPE-703.0.0.11.1.0.25-Dec2022-depot.zip
The previous HPE Custom image for ProLiant installed ESXi 7.0 Update 3f (for Gen9)VMware-ESXi-7.0.3-20036589-HPE-703.0.0.10.9.1.5-Jul2022.iso
VMware-ESXi-7.0.3-20036589-HPE-703.0.0.10.9.1.5-Jul2022-depot.zip
and ESXi 7.0 Update 3c (for Blade Servers meaning non-Synergy)
VMware-ESXi-7.0.3-19193900-HPE-703.0.0.10.8.1.3-Jan2022.iso
VMware-ESXi-7.0.3-19193900-HPE-703.0.0.10.8.1.3-Jan2022-depot.zip
The above previous images are available in the Archived ESXi 7.0U3 images linked here: https://www.hpe.com/us/en/servers/hpe-esxi.html
Please see documentation to determine which is the appropriate image for your hardware. "For Server support, refer to https://www.hpe.com/servers/vmwarecert "

Re: Looking for HPE Custom Image for ESXi 7.0 U3 Install CD for 7.0 U3g Build 20328353
Hi Patrick.,
Thank you for the details. It appears to me that ESXi image with build 20328353 for Proliant is not available and HPE team worked on the next ESXi 7.0 Update 3i release directly for Proliant systems.
1. Is there a specific reason why ESXi image with build 20328353 is available for Synergy systems only and not for Proliant?
2. Can we use ESXi image with build 20328353 is available for Synergy for Proliant systems as well? (I think no)
3. If HPE (VMware VCF) customer reaches out to HPE support requesting for custom ISO ESXi image with build 20328353, Can they get a custom image or not?
Best regards,
Chethan

Solution1. Is there a specific reason why ESXi image with build 20328353 is available for Synergy systems only and not for Proliant?
Synergy & ProLiant release on independent schedules and pick up whatever the latest VMware patch is at that time. HPE does not release a custom image for every patch.
2. Can we use ESXi image with build 20328353 is available for Synergy for Proliant systems as well? (I think no)
No, it won't have all the ProLiant drivers.
3. If HPE (VMware VCF) customer reaches out to HPE support requesting for custom ISO ESXi image with build 20328353, Can they get a custom image or not?
HPE does not provide customer-specific builds unless contracted through Pointnext services. The customer is expected to either use vLCM to define their own baseline or create their own custom ESXi image with their required VMware patch level. VMware has documentation online how to do that.
As mentioned, HPE does not release updated custom images for every VMware patch. HPE bundles the latest patch level to be in sync with the firmware bundle releases of either ProLiant or Synergy or both, depending on schedules. There are VMware tools to either define a custom baseline or to create an ESXi custom image. [edit typo]
