I must say, I took the script and edited to fit my needs. The script is basicly downloading the latest VMware VIB’s together with all the latest HP vibs.
A lot of drivers (which you may not use?) can be uncommented to be removed from the image (saves you some space and image load time)
- I added the vCloud Agent (you’ll find the vCloud Director Agent inside your vCloud Director cell on /opt/vmware/vloud-director/agent/vcloudagent-esx51-5.1.0-799577.zip)
- I added the vShield Endpoint driver (download it from your vShield Manager: https://vsm-ip/bin/offline-bundles/vShield–Endpoint–Mux.zip

You also need to check out the updater script from Alan Renouf at http://www.virtu-al.net/2012/01/06/updating-your-image-profile/
If you own the original script, please let me know. I was unable to find it again.
