Hi,
Yes there are custom images provided by HP
HP publishes an HP image for ESXi that includes:
- HP management components – CIM providers
- NIC drivers that are required for HP servers that are not in the base image
The VMware install process for ESXi does not have any way to include additional drivers. The ESXi installer checks to see if there is a valid NIC driver on the image and does not allow the install to proceed if a supported NIC driver is not found. If you are using the G7 blades, you must use the HP ESXi image. The HP image includes the drivers listed above.
To install ESXi 5.x and its updates, you must download this custom image provided by HP
Thanks n Regards
