After downloading the image (let’s call it HPE-ESXi-6.7U3.iso), verify its integrity:

Q: Is the HPE Custom Image free to download? A: Yes, the ISO itself is free. However, accessing the download may require a valid HPE Passport account. Support contracts are needed for troubleshooting, not for downloading.

Q: Can I use this image on Dell or Cisco servers? A: Technically, yes. Practically, no. The custom image includes HPE-specific drivers that may conflict with other hardware. Use the OEM image for your specific server brand.

Q: Does this image include the vSphere Client (HTML5)? A: Yes. ESXi 6.7 U3 introduced the native HTML5 vSphere Client on the host (port 443). The custom image retains this.

Q: My download link is broken. What now? A: Try the HPE VIBs Depot (vibsdepot.hpe.com) for the offline bundle, or contact HPE Support to be directed to the current archive location.


Last updated: For systems still running vSphere 6.5/6.7. Always plan a migration to ESXi 8.0 where hardware permits.
