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...

No release notes on the VMware site.

6.5 is not certified for  Collab yet, you need to install 6.0. 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.

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) ??
