The custom images just include vendor specific drivers that aren't built into base VMWare. The BE7K doesn't need any of those from what I know.

I'll have to reach out to the vendor to see what they like better, v6.0 or v6.5 . I won't be installing any Cisco apps on these servers (just yet). Still not clear on whether to get the custom image though...

I've never needed to use the custom ISO as the collab servers don't have any special hardware in them but it won't hurt. Matthew G.

I purchased a BE7K for third party apps, I also purchased ESXi v6.0 standard through the data centre SKU. Just wondering... Best to download one of the custom ISO images? https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=ESXI65U1&productId=614&rPId=17521#custom_iso should I go with 6.5 GA (2017-05-04) -or- 6.5.0d (2017-06-15) ?? --- Lelio Fulgenzi, B.A. Senior Analyst, Network Infrastructure Computing and Communications Services (CCS) University of Guelph 519-824-4120 Ext 56354 le...@uoguelph.ca<mailto:le...@uoguelph.ca> www.uoguelph.ca/ccs<http://www.uoguelph.ca/ccs> Room 037, Animal Science and Nutrition Building Guelph, Ontario, N1G 2W1
