Updating from Standard ESXi 4 to HP ESXi 4

Hi,

I have already installed ESXi 4.0 on some blades. Is there an update package that adds HP's bits or do I have to reinstall from scratch ?

I have not tried it myself, but maybe this is what you're looking for.

We installed Vmwares ESXi 4 U1 and then updated that with the HP bundle.
At the moment I have an issue, logged with HP, where I can identify the servers and get WBEM alerts from the ESXi server, but the Health & Properties links just go to a page that tell me the credentials are wrong.
I don't know if this is because it was not built directly from the HP image or another issue.
