Notes
VMware ESX/ESXi 4.1 Update 3 and ESX/ESXi 4.1 Update 2 are supported only with the System ROM and iLO FW in this
SPP. The FW supported on VMwareESX/ ESXi 4.x is from the Service Pack for Proliant (SPP) 2012.02.0 (B) and the device
drivers listed are included in the VMware base image available on VMware.com or the HP Custom Image available on
hp.com at: https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPVM06.
Please note that this recipe lists some servers and HW that support one or more of the VMware ESXi and vSphere OS
releases covered by this recipe. For a complete reference on which HP Proliant Server models support which version of
VMware OS, you can access the HP Server Support Matrix for ProLiant from the HP website here. This recipe should be
used in conjunction with the HP Server Support Matrix to build a supported HW and SW configuration.
A new version of this recipe will be published when a new HP Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) is published, when VMware
publishes a new OS Release (e.g. 5.1) or when VMware publishes a new update release (e.g. 5.1 U1).
HOT FIXES: The current recipe will be updated if HP releases a hot-fix for a critical driver or FW fix.
