Choose the specific VMware ESXi patch version you need to deploy.
Select the corresponding HPE Vendor Add-on . vLCM will run a dependency check to ensure that the selected HPE drivers are compatible with the chosen VMware patch level. Mastering HPE Custom Images for ESXi Patched Environments:

vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM), which replaced legacy Update Manager (VUM), is the most efficient tool for patching. It allows you to define a desired state using a single image definition that includes the base image, a vendor addon, and specific patches.
