HPE includes in their customized images), additional components (if required), and even firmware patches (which however requires additional systems).</P> <P>If you are going to patch a host manually, use the latest vendor customized image, and then apply the latest VMware patches if required. Vendors like HPE usually support the VMware patches on their images for the given "Update" release, e.g. v7.0 Update 3.</P> <P>André</P> Fri, 09 Jun 2023 11:52:13 GMT https://communities.vmware.com/t5/vSphere-Upgrade-Install/HPe-Hosts-and-Patching/m-p/2972479#M34700 a_p_ 2023-06-09T11:52:13Z
