VMware ESXi operating systems
You can update servers running VMware vSphere 5.1 or later operating systems remotely while running
HP SUM on a Linux or Windows system. HP SUM only supports updating firmware for VMware nodes.
Firmware that HP releases is available in the HP SPP. For information on the recommended driver and
firmware versions for HP ProLiant servers running VMware vSphere 5, see the VMware firmware and
software recipe available on the HP Online Depot website at http://vibsdepot.hp.com/. For more
information on the firmware updates available in the HP SPP, see the HP Service Pack for ProLiant
Release Notes.
VMware firmware
The following must be true to update a VMware vSphere node:
• The node must be running VMware vSphere 5 or later.
• The node must be active on the network so HP SUM can detect it.
• You are executing HP SUM on a Windows or Linux host computer.
