B200 M2 VMware upgrade

[thomas.2.ross]

I support a Cisco UCS blade system. It currently has UCS 2.01(T) and B200 M2  blades, and VMware 4.1

I need to know if it is  possible to upgrade to VMware 5.5 U3 , and what code the UCS needs to be at.

Also, is there a document for upgrading the UCS and blade firmware and the VMware drivers?

Is there an ISO containing the CIsco drives for ESXi 5.5U3B ?

And, a document for upgrading the CIsco N1000v ?
