(VMware human here).

Upgrading ESX or other VMware-related components has nothing to do with
PostgreSQL. Some of the products may embed a version of PostgreSQL to
store some of their meta-data or other things, in which case the upgrade
to a newer PostgreSQL version, if need be, will be taken care of by the
product itself. If you are using your own set of PostgreSQL instances,
then that's up to what you have at OS level.
