Verifying downloads

Previously, users could download images directly from HPE. Currently, access to the latest HPE Customized VMware images is routed through the Broadcom Support Portal (BSP) rather than the HPE public website due to the VMware acquisition by Broadcom.

Always match your server’s firmware level with the HPE custom image version—they include a "Recipe File" for compatibility.

After successfully downloading and verifying the ISO, you can proceed with deployment:

Before deploying the downloaded ISO, verify your server generation compatibility. ESXi 7.0 dropped support for older CPU architectures. Server Generation Compatibility Status Fully Supported Optimized for ESXi 7.x and 8.x HPE Gen10 / Gen10 Plus Fully Supported Native platform for ESXi 7.0 HPE Gen9 Limited Support Deprecated in later 7.0 Updates; check HCL HPE Gen8 and older Not Supported Missing CPU microcode instructions Verifying the File Integrity

Accept the Broadcom EULA and download the .iso file to your local machine. Option 2: Via the HPE Support Center (Alternative) Visit the (hpe.com).
