VMware Update Manager is available on version 6.7 and older version and Lifecycle Manager is available on VMware vSphere version 7.0 and above. You cannot find Update Manager in version 7.0 and above

  • To create the baseline, go to the Lifecycle Manager, create a new baseline and import the appropriate HPE custom image
  • Follow screen prompt to configure baseline and wait for baseline setup to finish
  • Now go to the specific host and click the update tab, add new baseline and attach the baseline created from the above step
  • Click attach and remediate
  • Wait for the remediation to run
  • The host will be reboot and new ESXi version 7 should be available
