Absolutely Novice, Embarrassing Question

Embarrased to ask this, but what do you update a driver in ESXi versus update in the guest OS. For instance, when Dell releases an update for applicable storage, NIC, and video drivers to support OS do I upgrade ESXi and Windows etc.? Thanks.

You can just update the drivers on the ESXi host for respective hba/nic etc

For Guest OS, you will have vmware tools which provides the necessary drivers

Thanks,

MS
