ESXI 6.5 on r720+r730
Hello,
We want to upgrade our ESXi servers form 5.5 to 6.5U2.
we have r720 and r730 servers.
what is the recommended firmware version we need to upgrade in the servers to support the new ESXi version?
there is an SUU ISO for it?
Thanks!

R720 firmware: https://dell.app.box.com/v/bootabler720/folder/60645378425
R730 firmware: https://dell.app.box.com/v/bootabler730/folder/11572988297
Dell customized ESXI 6.5U2: https://www.dell.com/support/home/drivers/driversdetails?driverId=5D3H5&osCode=XI65&productCode=poweredge-r720
The firmware .ISO files above are the bootable firmware packages for each server. The ESXi .ISO is ours and is pre-loaded with all the relevant drivers. If you go to the release notes, you can get a list of all the specific drivers loaded into the image. You can cross-reference that with your devices installed in the server and with VMware's HCL, if you want to view firmware for specific devices. There would be a version for the PERC, each different NIC, any PCI cards, etc.

Hi radim.fiala-lif.cz,
please refer to this article:

We moved the ISO from Box to on-domain
Cheers
