Syed,

Do you mean where you can download the BIOS and CIMC firmware? If so, that would be fromthe below link for example :

http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=283853163&flowid=25821&softwareid=283655681&release=2.2%281b%29&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest  

Now, the host firmware package is a Policy you define in UCSM, not something that can be downloaded.

From here

http://www.cisco.com/web/techdoc/ucs/interoperability/matrix/matrix.html you can see the b230-M2 compatible with ESXi 5.5 if using UCSM version 2.1(3x).

Hi Keny..

I mean to say i need below information ... from where i can get this ?

Adapter	Cisco    Systems	UCS    M81KR	2.1.1f
Server BIOS	Cisco Systems	UCS B230 M2	B230.2.0.1d.0.111620111513
Board Controller	Cisco Systems	B230-BASE-M2	B230100C
RAID Controller	LSI Logic – Symbios Logic	LSI MegaSAS 9260	12.12.0-0050|3.22.00|NA

Moreover I know that B230M2 can support ESXi 5.5 but   the website u mentioned does not include M81KR CNA

I want to M81KR is compatible with ESXi5.5 or not ?
