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

When you need to load this image into your Auto Deploy Server, use the following PowerCli code:
Connect-VIServer 0.0.0.0 -User administrator –Password "password" Add-EsxSoftwareDepot <drive>:\<Path>\ESX5i--<date>ESXi-5.1.0-<date>-standard.zip New-EsxImageProfile -CloneProfile ESX5i--<date>ESXi-5.1.0-<date>-standard -name "ESX5i" New-DeployRule –Name “HP-ESX5i” –Item “ESX5i", cluster, hostprofile -AllHosts Add-DeployRule -DeployRule “HP-ESX5i"
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.
