Patch baseline
The three valid baseline types in vSphere Lifecycle Manager are Patch, Upgrade, and Extension baselines. Patch baselines contain patches and bug fixes. Upgrade baselines handle version upgrades (e.g., ESXi host upgrade). Extension baselines include VMware or third-party software extensions. Firmware baseline (B) is not a separate type; firmware updates are included as patches. Critical Hosts baseline (D) is not a standard baseline type in vSphere Lifecycle Manager.
