Follow the interop matrix for supported firmware versions with the hypervisor.
You upgrade the UCS firmware using HUU or CIMC, BIOS, Adapter, etc.
Then move on to the hypervisor.

thanks Wes!
based on the tool:
my current setup:
current setup is;
vmware esxi: 4.1 update2
bios:c2001.4.3c.0
if i want to update to ESXi 5.1 Update 3
bios: 1.4.(3) or 1.4.(3)y
if i want to update/install new ESXi 6.0 Update 1b
bios: 1.4.(3) or 1.4.(3)y
Now my question can i update my bios directly from 1.4.3c to 1.4.(3)y ?? or there any specific path i need to go thru first?
