Why each option
vSphere Update Manager 6.x scan and remediation wizards support patching/upgrading ESXi hosts, applying third-party host extensions, and upgrading virtual machine hardware versions.
VUM does not install or manage arbitrary software applications inside virtual machine guest operating systems; its VM-level scope is limited to VMware Tools upgrades and hardware version upgrades.
ESXi host hardware firmware upgrades are handled by hardware vendor utilities or OEM-specific tooling such as HPE SPP or Dell OMIVV, not by vSphere Update Manager.
VUM uses host patch and upgrade baselines to scan ESXi hosts for missing patches or outdated ESXi versions, then remediates them by applying individual patches or performing full in-place ESXi upgrades.
VUM host extension baselines enable administrators to install and update third-party VIB packages - such as vendor-specific drivers or management agents - on ESXi hosts during the remediation process.
VUM includes VM hardware upgrade baselines that scan virtual machines for outdated hardware compatibility versions and upgrades them to match the capabilities supported by the current ESXi host version.
