Lenovo recommends that you install VMware ESXi 6.x, ESXi 7.x using the Lenovo VMware ESXi custom image. Installing from the custom image has several advantages:

2. It enables support of Lenovo's tools, including Lenovo XClarity Essentials (ToolCenter) that provide the ability to flash server firmware such as UEFI, XCC, and IO adapter firmware.
3. It includes the latest VMware certified IO drivers to support Lenovo servers, as outlined in Lenovo VMware I/O drivers and firmware code recipe.
