Hello


in order to update the hardware/firmare/bios of your Hosts you need to attach to your vcenter the vendor appliance and relative plugin that's able to manage the HP hardware.

I think you need to check the documentation for the HPE Amplifier if I remember right. Unfortunately I'm only using Lenovo server so the configuration could be different for HP.

I found a blog post that maybe can help you:

Do anyone experience about it for HPE servers ?

the blog post above has a pretty decent step through? if that is not what you are looking for then you should be a bit more specific...

Thanks. but that doc is more than 1 years ago and many updates has released from HPE and vmware from that time for example in that doc used amplifier and as I know that does not work now and we have to use oneview instead of that I just wanted use the other experiences .

1- Would you please say why we have to create a single image while all of my esxi host are using same version . for example I just want update my servers' bios so just had to deploy bios why have to create single mage ? 

2- If I create a single image it will deploy on all hosts ?

that is not documentation, it is a blog with an example. For specific documentation for HPE you will need to go to HPE's forum and/or HPEs website. VMware does not create documentation for partner solutions typically.
