VMware ESXi

Welcome to HPE VMware Support and Certification webpage for HPE Servers

HPE servers require the HPE Custom ESXi image or an ESXi image can be created with VMware's ImageBuilder application that has, at minimum, appropriate device drivers to support the boot controller and at least one network device in the server for a successful installation of VMware ESXi.

The drivers for the new network and storage controllers in the servers are integrated in the HPE Custom ESXi image and are not part of the base ESXi image that is distributed by VMware.

Certain HPE servers are only supported with VMware's base image and not supported with the HPE custom ESXi image (see Notes in Matrix below).
